Our Personal Thoughts
While published to be recommended for ages 10-14, the way it’s written and illustrated make it rather a good read for 7-9 years . The author is not getting in much details about the raised topics which make it rather a good communication starter than a comprehensive resource by itself.
Many readers reported that the book was overpriced for its actual content
