It's also good for children to learn how the barn animals sound. I had a friend that was ashamed of speaking German because all her schoolmates would laugh at her accent and she stopped speaking it all together. Her whole family spoke German except her and she ended up regretting it a lot when she grew up. ...more

I remember learning about the different layers in our atmosphere in school. They didn't add the Ozone layer which is part of the stratosphere (15-35) km above Earth. They explain why it's hotter in the equator and why we get more hurricanes if you are closer to the equator. It's full of information about everything to do with hurricanes. She truly has a talent to fit so much information in such a small book. Below are some of the pictures of this book in the spoiler. They give some information about the three different types of clouds but don't go into too much detail. (view spoiler)[ [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] (hide spoiler)]...more
