Review:
This book is beautifully written and illustrated. It is a non-fiction book but written as a story with extra facts on each page that you can choose to read or leave out. The story uses a lot of language features such as similes, metaphors and descriptive language which can confuse young children. My 4 year old asked for clarification during the story as he took some meanings literally.

4.5/5
