I picked this book up for my 7-year-old, who loves fact-filled reads and material packed with interesting information. While the content itself was great and full of fascinating facts, the structure just didn’t work for my younger reader. The bullet-point format felt more like an encyclopedia, which quickly lost his interest after just a few pages.

This might be a better fit for older kids who enjoy nonfiction and don’t mind a more reference-style layout. It’s informative, but not particularly engaging for younger, more narrative-driven readers.
