Great summer learning with fun activities to do!

I picked this book up because I wanted to work on doing some summer learning with my 6 1/2 and 7 year olds. I've only just started going through it and LOVE it! Almost every page has an activity related to what it's teaching. It's not about being an environmentalist, but helps explain our planet so we know how we effect it. It's really well written and fun to go through. Great summer read!
