Another amazingly wonderful book for our homeschool shelf! Human Body is a fun way to introduce young minds to the human body, what it is made up of, and what keeps it going. The book is interactive with over 30 flaps and cut-outs!...

I remember encyclopedias being this huge set books I absolutely detested getting out for school projects.. that is not the case with Britannica's Encyclopedia Infographica.

The best books are those that cause a visceral reaction.. If the Rivers Run Free did just that for my children. "These rivers are trouble, as all of us know. We're better without them. These rivers must go." Lyrically...
