BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

In the style of a museum exhibit, this book is a collection of the “weirdest, strangest, and most incredible objects on Earth”. Each two page spread has a theme and then a collection of flaps to lift and look at. 

This book is a lot of fun. Flaps for older readers are a bit of a novelty and I believe this will engage readers. The objects are sometimes boring or confusing, but on the whole, the collections are fun to look through and read about.
