I checked out that same book a few times before I got my chickens.Here are a few books I found that may work, if you can find them. First one is a juvi book that that gives quite a bit of info. Hopefully they won't see it as condescending. I find Juv non-fic books can have a lot of info presented w as little filler as possible, unlike many adult books. It may be possible your library has some that will work.View attachment 1170860
The next 2 are adult books, but they aren't as wordy as many of the others I looked at. My daughter loves the first one, and I actually bought it for her.

And the last one I found on the shelf, it has short paragraphs of info and pictures. It appears much more user friendly than some of the books that are pages and pages of words. I actually just checked this one out for myself after seeing it.

I agree. Easy chunks of words. Great pictures too.
