This is a staple for a reason. It’s hard to find nonfiction that doesn't talk down to kids or bore them to tears, but Jill McDonald nails the balance.
It’s colorful, it’s sturdy, and it actually teaches them something about the world beyond their toy box. It won't win a Pulitzer, but it'll definitely win 'most requested book at 7:00 PM' for a few months straight.
