The writing was really small. Some if the pages were curled and it had a yellow tinge to the pages. So disappointed. I can’t give this to my Grandson for Christmas as it looks like I bought it at a book sale. Not worth the money

What a great book of bite-size facts. Well categorised, easy to pick up and browse and will definitely be my stocking filler gift this Christmas!!
