Review

Did you know that garden snail speed is 0.1 inches per second? That some things, like glass bottles may never decay. You can find many facts about things that are slow in this wonderfully written and illustrated book. Kids of all ages will have a great time learning obscure facts about a variety of animals, vegetables, motions and things to do, even dark matter and other things in space!

This will be a great addition to any library.

Overall Book Score: very good
