She loves to learn and picks up on new words and ideas quickly. I knew this book would be a bit above her; but I figured it would be worth a shot.Irsquo;m glad I tried it! The book format was neat and easy to navigate. For example; the first landform was volcano. On the left was the word; big and bold; and then on the right was a description of a volcano. The descriptions are beyond her; of course; but I easily dumbed it down (I hate that phrase; but nothing else is coming to mind at the moment). When you flip to the next page there are two pictures; one of which is a volcano. I asked her which one was a volcano and she pointed to the correct picture! Love it!The only downfall is that it isnrsquo;t interactive (as far as I know) in that it says to put a checkmark in the circle of the correct answer; but you canrsquo;t click on it. This is minor though; sitting next to her and reading it to her I can tell her she got it right or to try again.She had a lot of fun with this book and I am very happy with it as well. I would recommend it; even to parents of younger kids like mine. I am a big believer in early education; there is no reason not to expose children to the world around us; even if they donrsquo;t understand it all just yet. It sets the on the right path. This is a great tool for that.I definitely plan on using more Baby Professor products!Full disclosure: I have received this product at a reduced price in exchange for an HONEST review. I take reviewing seriously (as I rely on reviews myself when purchasing products) and will only give 100% truthful feedback. I NEVER receive product in exchange for giving a favorable review. Donrsquo;t believe me? Check out my other reviews. A free product does not equal a 5 star review with me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This is an excellent ebook for kidsBy rkreviewerThis is an excellent ebook for kids! As a teacher of elementary students; I would love to incorporate this ebook into a small group activity where I present a main idea or topic to the whole class and then they break up in small groups and discover more material on their own. My mind was continuously racing as I read through this book thinking of different projects I could make on this topic. It is the perfect age group to let them use a kindle to explore and what a better way to do so than with this ebook! I will totally let other teachers know of this opportunity and will keep this seller in mind with other ebooks available. I received this product free for reviewing purposes; however my opinions are all my own.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What a ripoffBy H. MinutaglioI feel completely ripped off by this book. It reads like somebody copied pasted a dictionary definitions of various various landforms without trying to make it at a level for "early learners" like the title suggests. Then they stuck it next to clip art photos. Does this sound like its for "early learners"? "A desert is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life." Or this gem: "a volcano is a rupture on the crust of a planetary-mass object." Ive included my favorite photo of the "marsh" and "lake." Dont waste your money.
