PROS CONS

✔ A large amount of useful information that considers practical questions children might have.

✔ Good level of detail for the suggested age group.

✘ Only contains text with questions and answers divided into 5 sections which are then swiped through sequentially, so it's not possible to search for specific topic areas.

✘ Visual presentation is plain.
