2.0 out of 5 starsDoes not encourage independent thought

I opened up this book and read all of it. This is not a troll comment. I severely dislike this book and this is why:
1. It mostly tells children 'what' to do without explaining why or how.
2. It paints a picture of a world that does not exist which is 'perfect' and this is harmful for a developing child.
3. The bullet points at the beginning of the book (index) do not match up with the actual content.
4. The book is confused and confusing to both parent and child. (Story: I love winter, actually summer) (Match up a food chain with animals from all over the globe who wouldn't eat each other anyway if they were forced into the same cage)
The ONLY redeeming factor is that it's actually SO BAD that I was able to revise actual real life facts and basically set up my own curriculum for my child. I'm sorry I bought it, but I can at least use it as a guide of 'what not to do' and 'what do avoid'--and that's not very redeeming. And really, it could have been so much worse.
