Nicholas's Nifty Non-Fiction

Nicholas likes Explore Within A Pirate Ship. It opens up and you can see the ship. You can read about the parts. My favorite part is where they keep all of their treasure.

Nicholas likes Animals in Disguise because it is about animals that are camouflaged. They can hide from other animals and then sneak up on them and catch them.
