I liked the content of this book. It starts out, “Imagination is a fundamental human ability. It plays a crucial role in learning through the observation and the behavior of others.” Then the whole book is pictures of kids looking at the camera through their own improvised lenses imitating Linn as she is taking the pictures.

This book comes with a paper mask to put on. I thought it was a different way of reading a book. It allows the reader to be interactive with the book. By wearing the mask the reader feels part of the book.
4. Title: The Kinship Structure of Ferns

For this book I like the elongated shape of it. The book is elongated in width. It is awkward to read it in your hands the book needs to be read on a flat surface.

I like the style of this book. It is a simple staple bound book but when you open it the pages unfold to reveal a larger picture. There are seven pages than unfold to a front and back.

I like the content and the binding style for this book. This is 52 page book on things in nature that look like art for example the icicles that form on trees. It is glue bound binding which looks nice because the staples used in binding are not seen. The book looks really clean.
