Editorial Reviews

11/01/2022

Gr 3–6—Infographics are a great, in-depth introduction to a topic, and this series is no exception. Each of the eight books provide a thorough overview of a wide variety of topics such as clean water, climate change, invasive species, and more. The text consists of short paragraphs that introduce the chapter's topic followed by infographics that provide detail for a well-rounded understanding or easy to find research statistics. The wide variety of infographics, such as charts, lists, graphs, and definitions, include source notes that lead researchers to more information if needed. The white backgrounds accentuate the colored text boxes and graphs, and the bright geometric graphics make the pages even more appealing. Each book includes an activity, glossary, index, suggested books and websites, and a bibliography. VERDICT Because of the visually appealing graphics and the breadth of information, these books should be a first choice for environmental collections.
