This second book marks several differences from the previous volumes. The
size of the type decreases considerably so that more text can be printed on each page. The
number of illustrations also decreases and more images are left to the imagination of the
reader. To promote comprehension, each reading section is followed by a set of questions
about what the student has just read.
