OK, I have been having the best time looking at this Fun Facts Freddie book. If you have been looking for something you can do with your kid or grand kid, this is it. I'd say that it would be suitable for grownups of any age, and kids up to maybe the second grade. Well, if your kid is as smart as most are these days, then the first grade. Regardless, this is high tech old fashion fun of a sort we don't get to do very much these days.The way it works is that you put your Kindle on one knee, the kid on the other, and then go to town with the book. It's interactive.As with the other Fun Fact Freddie book that I own, (Children's Quiz Books About Animals) there are a whole bunch of questions, all with three part answers. Obviously the author had birds on the brain with this one. If you're a bird nut, then this book is a no brainer.You go from question to question, each with three answers. If you make a boo boo, it takes you back to the question for another try. When you get it right, your Kindle lets you go to the next one, but before that, you are treated with an explanation of the answer. Also, each question has a very nice colorful picture with it. Of course, it's only in color if you have a color screen. But the main thing is you have the opportunity to have an extraordinary and old fashioned sit down with the kiddie!When you begin with a kid, the magic happens as you read them the question and let them choose the answer. If they are old enough, and their hands have been washed prior to the session, they can tap the screen themselves. I don't know how mouth slobber reacts with a Kindle, so you be the judge of how much latitude you give your pupil. Ha!The book is VERY much worth the price. Much thought and work went into the production of it. More, I'll bet you anything that you'll be totally worn out with it before your child is. It's something you'll do over and over! For parents and grand parents, this is a GOOD thing!Norm
