The photographed pictures on each page create aesthetic satisfaction for small readers and establish an up-close and detailed understanding of the reading. Photos are accompanied by a review of the most important notes one has learned from the reading and are displayed in bold text inside highlighted boxes. After the reading, a list of different activities such as projects and web sights are listed to give additional educational information as well as helping to furthering one's interest and it also involves fun activities in which children can apply the information they have learned.
