Yes this is an amazing educational, but fun book. I'm 13 years old, so in my world education and fun do not go together but this book totally smashes the two together.
Many of the images fail to display.
I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the book, rebooting my pad… nothing seems to work. I just see placeholder icons where the images should be.
