As this is my own book, and I am a bit biased, this is not really the most reliable review!
What I like about this book is its potential- it can be "read" with very young children by looking at the pictures and talking about what they see. Older children might become curious about the snippets of information and want to find out more. For older readers it may be a trip down memory lane. Hopefully the illustrations can be enjoyed for their own sake by a wide range of viewers.
