Full Text Reviews:

School Library Journal - 12/01/2013 Gr 5–8—Infographics is the use of "icons, graphics, and pictograms" in order to "visualize data and information in a whole new way!" Each spread starts with a heading and short introductory paragraph, followed by a compilation of facts and statistics presented in bright, bold colors. For example, Human Body tells readers that "your mouth will produce nearly 10,567 gallons (40,000 liters) of saliva in a lifetime." It has a section on reproduction that discusses how a sperm fertilizes an egg (but there are no details on how the sperm got there) and states that "300,000,000 [sperm] are released…at ejaculation." In Human World, readers learn that McDonald's sells 75 hamburgers every single second and that Europe holds 34 percent of the world's wealth. Both titles will appeal to readers who enjoy poring over interesting facts and details and who like to have that knowledge to share. The books will be useful in math units that address percentages, various graph types, metric conversion, and money, and they also have social studies and science tie-ins.—Stephanie Farnlacher, Trace Crossings Elementary School, Hoover, AL - Copyright 2013 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
