This is a terrific, high interest reader for youngsters. The stories are captivating and told with feeling. Each is true, which gives the book so much punch. It's great to share with the family, for adults of different ages will remember baby Jessica trapped in a hole in Texas in the 1980s and other stories from news coverage.
