“This fun book compares similar items or things using illustrations, fun facts, and comparison charts. The illustrations and colors are so great, and there are a lot of different categories of items that are compared (animals, food, clothes). One thing to note for readers who might have differing opinions is that it compares an embryo vs a fetus, specifying that a fetus (not an embryo) is a "living...being.”
