Each species then has some fun facts for further learning.Let me give you an example. A = Alligator. A cartoon alligator is shown walking with a towel wrapped around it and explaining "Oh my. You caught me coming out of the shower".The alligator than tells you about the alligator and notes the difference between alligators and crocodiles. She notes alligators are cuter. She then shows a alligator in the wild and says "By the way, here’s a picture of my husband. He’s quite a hunk.". That is followed by Fun Facts. Here you learn why the alligator is valuable in the marsh.From A to Z kids will enjoy reading and learning about some of their favorite species. Adults will hear them chuckling and, in fact, will learn as well if they read the book to their child.

Snow White as you've never seen her. She might start as a beautiful naive girl but the evil queen unwittingly turns her into a dynamo.Certain scenes might make this story more suitable for young adults but my 12 year old grandson and a few of his friends certainly enjoyed it.Snow White’s stepmother was definitely a meanie. That doesn’t change. She was evil but maybe she would never have been obsessed with finding out who in the land might be fairer than her had Rumplestiltskin not made an appearance. He introduced her to the magic mirror but not the magic mirror we are all familiar with. This was a magic mirror with a serious attitude which angered the queen. A magic mirror with an attitude is only the beginning. Who was the huntsman? Where are the dwarfs? Did . . . really give Snow White the poisoned apple?What other girl does the mirror tell the queen is fairer than her? What happens when Prince Charming kissed Snow White?Why is the Gingerbread Man in the story of Snow White?There are a lot of questions that need answers. Rather than spill the story line trying to entice you to read the book, I suggest you open the free preview and skip reading the table of contents and go directly to chapter 1 to see if this story interests you. If it doesn’t, then read the table of contents so you can see what characters were actually a part of Snow White’s story. There are plenty of fairy tale characters and lots of surprising twists and turns.By the way, Snow White is a fictional character. Or is she? 
