How in the World?
В детстве очень любила такие книги (из серии Почемучка). Сейчас нашла похожую книгу в книжном шкафу, в доме, в котором снимаю комнату. Так как я тут всего на месяц, а книгу хочется дочитать до конца, то я посчитала, что придется читать в день по 20 страниц (кажется, что не так много, но она большая и шрифт там мелкий).
