three-stars

The Earth Book offers plenty of facts about the planet combined with layered, acetate illustrations. It’s a cool-looking book, and many kids will love the way the pages work and fit together. The text is heavy enough that it might turn some readers off, especially since there is so much to look at. The text is also somewhat mismatched with the format; it has a board book feel to it but the reading level is ages 7-10, though the pages are intriguing enough so that might not matter. A decent choice for visual learners.
