An all new True Book about Saturn proves to be a fascinating and fun read. The first page reads..."Everything you are about to read is true except for one of the sentences on this page...Which one is true?" Herein lies the "hook". The reader is given a brain challenge upfront, which compels them to read on to find the answer. Along the way on finding the answer to the challenge question, amazing facts about Saturn are presented in each of the six short chapters, such as how Saturn's rings were discovered and what is in those rings, and how 750 Earths could fit inside Saturn as well as who was Saturn. The striking illustrations, stellar photos, kid appealing page designs...paired with the interesting, informative text make this a winner series. True Statistics, Resources, Important Words, Index, About the Author, and of course, the answer to the original question are all appended. |
