Throp addresses the reader as a future ISS astronaut, telling you what you need to do to train, how you will ride a Soyuz to the Station, and how you live and sleep up there. It's fairly up-to-date, featuring photos of the cupola and of ATVs, though it does include a confusing variety of exterior shots of the ISS that are not in chronological order. (At least one photo shows the fully assembled ISS, while there are other photos going as far back as the launch of Unity.) I don't think that's a serious problem, as the point of the book is to get kids to imagine themselves living in space as astronauts do, and for that it's quite effective. And yes, there is a photo of an astronaut toilet!

Non-fiction, lots of facts, talks about a hypothetical journey to the center of the earth

This book is an informational text that goes in depth into lemurs. This would be a good resource for an animal study unit where students get to research a specific animal. This book could also be used as a resource for a habitat unit. This book details the adaptations that allow lemurs to flourish in Madagascar. It goes in to the scientific vocabulary of the species of lemurs and teaches about larger concepts such as the food chain.

Did you know without code breakers, we might've actually had the war longer than it was. Have you ever wondered what was it like to be a spy? An especially a real one. I wonder if how its like to get caught. I don't think it was the best thing in the world to get caught. Today I will be talking about code breaks during the wars and how they managed to get away with it.

hundred's of code breakers were working during world war two. The Nazi's invented a complicated code. People started putting posters about talking too loud about what was going on especially you never know who is a Nazi. If too much information is heard, it will not be pretty. There were many brave volunteers as allies spies during the war. An agent named "M5" knew when Chapman was going to be dropped into Britan. M5 and Chapman faked an attack so the Nazi's would not realize Chapman had been captured.
Chapman reported that Nazi's were overshooting their targets, which wasn't the case.
There were also " Y stations " that existed. People had listened to enemy messages 24 hours a day and pass them around to others. The information was gathered from the evil messages and its actually was TOP secret and is called Ultra. There were many machines to translate the messages or get the messages. One day Y listeners beginning hearing a new sound and it turned out to be messages delivered by teleprinter and this started to be used by the German army. One day a German operator had accidentally failed to change a setting which gave code breakers a bigger sample to work with. In February 1939, code breakers have recently discovered that the Japanese started using a new cipher machine which became known as "Purple." Funny right? A team called the A team had started working on translating these messages. Soon enough in 1940, a cryptanalyst named Genevieve made a breakthrough. This helped build a new machine called the purple analog that could quickly get messages from Japan. There were also celebrity spies. Josephine Baker toured France and had pieces of paper attached to her. Anything she heard that might be important she told to the Allies. She even wrote secret notes in the lines of her sheet of music

If I could ask only one question about this book is that how many code breakers got caught? And if you did get caught what would happen to you? Death? Prison? Anyways, I would give this book a 5-star rate. It was pretty interesting there were many things I didn't even know about. I would recommend this to history lovers.

This book uses vivid, color photographs of trees, plants, and flowers to attract the reader. The layout is comfortably balanced because the photos are always in the top two-thirds of each page and the text is in the bottom one third. The text is in bold black with a simple white background. The text tends to be one or two simple sentences. In the back of the book, which is 24 pages, there is a picture glossary of three target vocabulary words.

I chose this book because I was attracted by the great photographs. I was also curious about the title, which seemed very mundane. I didn’t think there could be a book just about stems; alas, there can be! I think this kind of topic is appealing to people—kids and adults alike—if the visuals are eye-catching and chosen carefully. For example, if the visuals were black-and-white, or if they were less captivating (a blurry, pixelated plant, for instance), the reader may rightly decide to keep browsing on the shelf.
