    Wow! I am quite impressed with what's included in this book. Tons and tons of content for Pokemon lovers to devour. The book is made well, and my daughter is absolutely loving going through it and learning more facts about the various pokemon characters.

    It's been really fun to go through it with her, and it's given us some great bonding time.

    This book is definitely something I'd recommend to anyone looking to learn more about the characters, and for any child that's a big fan. It's become her go to book, and she wants to read it every day!
