A great blue hole, a chocolate mountain, a beach with pigs, a pink lake。。。this book makes me want to start traveling the world and never stop。 It is full of beautiful photographs and fascinating information about places around the world that are unique, bizarre, and completely fascinating。 Perfect for early elementary schoolers who love to soak in everything and who adore quirky facts to share with everyone they know。 A quality non-fiction book to add to your bookshelf。
