I really enjoyed reading this book. I found it to be very informative.I have a son that is albino and I now see that there are many other albinos and what they experience.I also enjoyed reading about some of the genetics of albinism.I was also pleased to see my uncle in the book. Albinism runs heavily in my family. The research that was done to make this book was phenomenal.I especially liked that this book is designed for children to help them get a better understanding of albinos and may teach them more sensitivity.

I bought this book to help my son Cameron and myself learn and deal with his albinism. The book has alot of wonderful pictures of people that look just like him. The layout was very simple so I could understand it and then relay it back to my son. The parts we both liked best were the different stories about albino`s.They were treasured by many different cultures. The american indians especially worshiped someone with very light color. To them it was a sign of good luck from their god. All different races also can have albinism of varing severeness. I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to understand what people like my son go through everyday.I am so glad that I have had the oppertunity to relay my story to someone who cares.

My 3 1/2 year old borrowed 4 of these True Books by Elaine Landau on dinosaurs from our local library. He loved them so much that he's been sleeping with them and carrying them everywhere. The pictures are captivating and realistic. The text is very understandable for a young reader. It teaches them the basics of what dinosaurs are, what makes this dinosaur unique, how the scientists learned about them, what made the dinosaurs extinct, and how humans compare on the timeline.

"Canada," by Elaine Landau, combines a straightforward text with lots of full-color photographs. The book is a basic introduction to Canada.

In a world of Mad Cow Disease and the like, it is nice to see a regular simple matter of fact book children can enjoy. I especially enjoyed the little guy on the inside first page and page 16. "Please don't bother me I'm trying to eat" is what I get from that look.

Until recently Americans believed that the nuclear powers had come to grips with nuclear weaponry through agreements which limited their testing and use: tests conducted by India and Pakistan have proved otherwise, and here Elaine Landau explores the new nuclear reality, examining how a new world arms race may be in the making. Grades 5-8 will find this an intriguing examination of modern nuclear issues.
