Dazzeland is a book for children that was written by Shirley Woods. You keep up with the inhabitants of the Planet of Success, who are known as the Planeteers. They were in a forest when a spaceship landed, and inside they found the citrusiest and most delicious-smelling fruits and a flower. These beings are from Dazzeland, and they are referred to as Citrons. They share with one another a wealth of fascinating information about the Planet of Success and other things, which is sure to pique the interest of many younger readers.
The author's goal in writing this book was to educate young readers about common fruits while also allowing them to enjoy themselves while doing so. She also incorporated math and science, albeit in an entertaining manner, into this book. A child's attention is sure to be piqued by the illustrations due to their vividness. This book also includes a friendship between the Planeteers of Planet of Success and the Citrons of Dazzeland.
I liked how the author incorporated math and science into this book, and I didn't find it boring at all, which is why I think a child would be interested in reading it. The author's use of science and mathematics in the book was another aspect of it that appealed to me. It is original, and the way the story is told really grabbed my attention.
The text was still legible despite the fact that the line spacing was inconsistent across all of the pages, which bothered me.
There was nothing about this book that I didn't like, and as a result, I give it a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars. Pre-teens can increase their knowledge of fruit and the world by reading this book, which is an excellent resource for educational material for this age group. In addition, I was unable to locate any errors, leading me to believe that the book was edited by a professional. It might be the font the author chose to use, but I couldn't help but feel like the spacing seemed bumpy throughout the whole book.
I believe that preteens would benefit more from reading this book than younger children, due to the fact that it contains a lot of description as well as the incorporation of math and science.
