The book is generally well-crafted and enjoyable to read; however, there are instances where the information provided lacks accuracy. One notable example occurs on page 84, where the Amazon River is discussed. The book claims that the river flows through Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. In reality, the Amazon River system originates in the Andes Mountains of Peru and traverses Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Brazil before reaching its endpoint at the Atlantic Ocean. A simple Google search readily reveals this factual inaccuracy. It is imperative for authors to invest more time in thorough research to avoid confusing readers, especially young ones, with inaccurate assumptions.
