China: Land of the Emperor’s Great Wall (Magic Treehouse Fact Tracker for Book #14) by Mary Osborne and Boyce, Natalie –ADVISABLE

Osborne, Mary Pope and Boyce, Natalie Pope China: Land of the Emperor’s Great Wall (Magic Treehouse Fact Tracker for Book #14)120 pgs Random House, 2014 $5.99  Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G NON-FICTION
Lots of information about China for young readers. Learn about the dragon king, the great wall, inventions, and modern day China. Filled with illustrations, photographs, and little interjections from Jack and Annie themselves.
I love reading these fact tracker books. Here is my wish, hardback and color of all of these. This author has the knack of writing non-fiction (well and of course, fiction too) for children. I thought this was fun and interesting to read and wasn’t too dumbed down. I really enjoy reviewing these and they would be more popular as a book checkout if they were larger, perhaps even able to open flat (this would be good for the magic trick one!). I realize the whole idea is to keep them affordable, but I want all of these as an easier to use real library resource.
