These posts are all short (<180 words) introductions\/reviews of books in the EL library. They focus on telling you what we think will be interesting for you, a college student and English learner, so use them to help you find the right book for you. You can also use the <\/em>tags<em> to find books about topics you might be interested in.]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>_______<\/p>\n<p>Although this book is \u201cfor kids,\u201d it still may be good for you to read. There are pages about science (biology, environment, animals, scientific history), popular culture (movies, animation, music), sports (baseball, football, Olympics), US states, and more. Each topic is only two pages long, including photographs and puzzles, so you can read the whole section very quickly. Also, although the language is not very difficult, there are good explanations of some science vocabulary as well as some interesting slang.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a book to read every single page: read what looks interesting and skip everything else. It is a good book to practice your \u201cEnglish habit,\u201d too. Making a habit of using English every day or every other day is a great way to learn. One way of making your English habit is to decide to read one page in this book every morning, for example, while eating breakfast. It\u2019s not too difficult, but it will support your English learning a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> The puzzles in this book are very easy for a native speaker. However, understanding the instructions to a puzzle\u2014even a very easy one\u2014is actually very good English practice, too!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"detail__media__img-highres  js-detail-img  js-detail-img-high\" src=\"https:\/\/external-content.duckduckgo.com\/iu\/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F61TsWmFBv%2BL._SX258_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg&#038;f=1&#038;nofb=1\" alt=\"TIME For Kids The Amazing Fact and Puzzle Book: The Editors of TIME for ...\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
