The borders around the pictures were very interesting to me. I really liked that they looked like a quilt. I also enjoyed the way the paintings were done in this book. One of the things that I noticed about this book was the fact that it had facts about different things throughout the book. I thought that this would be a very effective way for students to learn history without realizing that they are learning history. Many of the times students believe that history is boring and has too many things to remember but I thought that this book did a good job at presenting history in a fun way and making it not seem so intimidating.
