let's see :ermsmile: ...which would I rather read....a textbook filled with a bunch of vocabulary words and facts :ermsmile: ...or a story about a place I never knew about before reading the book ....there is just no comparision...kids like storybooks because they don't have any educational value and aren't about fact, whereas textbooks really don't tell a story, only what we call facts (sorry, I'm taking a philosophy class and we were asked how we really know what history is true...)...
