I bought this book when my son was 8 and have kept this book in a car. He pulls it out during travelling and has been using for last two years. It’s not a story book that he picks up and finish in one go but this book has loads of info and interesting facts and he keeps visiting this book again and again. I feel happy when share those facts with me.

Overall, good and informative book. The binding is also durable.
