I did not like this book because it was way too long for an elementary school student. The book is over 100 pages and then their are help hotline pages and a glossary and index in the back. I do like that there is a glossary and an index to help the students out with words or quickly getting to the part in this book they want to read. I also like how there are ways to get help provided in the back of the book because that really could come to use for some students. There are only a few pictures through out this entire chapter book and everything is in black and white which makes it very boring. It does however, give very detailed information about smoking and what it can do to you. The main idea is to inform the reader about what smoking is, why people smoke, why it is bad for people to smoke, and the causes and effects of smoking. It also provides information about secondhand smoking as well. For someone who is interested in this topic, I think it is a good book however, this is not a book I would enjoy reading. ( )
