A lot of fun

This book had great ideas for activities for older kids. I particularly enjoyed the historical adventure stories and geography/science question and answer chapters. Conn made complex topics very easy to understand. Kids will love the volcano facts! The pdf was helpful but I also read the book at the same time, which was great for the pictures and illustrations. The narrator was easy to listen to and made it easy to finish the book in no time.
