What the He%& is this?

Would you try another book from Stephen Brennan (editor) and/or Bob Hennessy?

no, not at all

What could Stephen Brennan (editor) have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Have thought more of the reader than his bank account

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Bob Hennessy?

for this book...hum id say Homer Simpson....

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

NO, This book was written in an effort for gain pocket change...not in a real effort to expand knowledge.

Any additional comments?

was written in the same manner as the WEEKLY READER. Remember those from the third grade?
