The most intriguing x-ray collection I've ever seen, and I have seen a lot of x-rays. The pictures are enthralling, supported by informative and entertaining facts. Kids will love the book, learning about our natural world in an immediate and unique way. Every picture tells a story they say, but these pictures tell a story on another level completely. A stunning project, truly AMAZING.
