Summary: Learning about creation and who God is.

Strengths: There are many detailed pictures. I like how the questions that set off and are answered in description. It also brings inadvertently a religious aspect and this books simplifies potentially difficult areas of study.

Concerns: Although I like how it teaches children a religious aspect, quoting from the the Bible, I feel, is putting too much emphasis for children at such a young age. I feel young children would find it difficult to grasp and the book would be just as strong without this emphasis.

Age level: Upper (5-6), Middle
Classroom Use: Teaches children about God, creation, and his importance in our universe.
