Have you ever wondered which animal can survive in open space? Would you like a snapshot of how human communication has evolved over the centuries? Those topics and more populate this book, which is full of bite-size chunks of info on topics including inventions, animals, the human body, power, space, world biomes, and more. Each two-page spread introduces a new topic, with plenty of photos and illustrations complementing the digestible details. With its many visuals and limited, yet very informative text, this book would be swell for reluctant readers, kids who get overwhelmed with large amounts of information at once, visual learners, or those who enjoy trivia and fun facts. Note: ages given for events/planets, etc. are in line with an evolutionary world view.128 pgs, pb.
