4。5 stars as I somehow experienced a very subtle feeling of incoherence with this book, but I cannot name it。 It's is an absolutely minor complaint, because this book is a wonderful way to learn about the world。 I really like the idea with the 4 elements layout。 4。5 stars as I somehow experienced a very subtle feeling of incoherence with this book, but I cannot name it。 It's is an absolutely minor complaint, because this book is a wonderful way to learn about the world。 I really like the idea with the 4 elements layout。 。。。more

Super interesting! I wish I had a few hours to *really* go through it, but even just from skimming the Earth and Fire parts, I think it's fascinating! It's an interesting way to lay out an earth science book, but it totally works。I'll definitely be recommending this one to the kiddos! Super interesting!
