Illustrated by Steve Adams
“A Mind-Bending Way of Looking at Big Ideas & Numbers” is a good description of what this book offers. Aimed at a slightly older audience, David and Steve creatively bring home facts and figures about topics like the size of the galaxies and planets, continents, water, species of living things, energy, life expectancy, food production and consumption, and population on Earth by scaling them down to manageable and familiar size.
For example, the Species of living things are presented by a tree with 1000 leaves, and the illustration shows the percentages that animal and human life, one-celled organisms, fungi, plants and bacteria make up.
Every double-page spread can be used as a start to a topic study or discussion. The book also includes practical activity suggestions for teachers and parents at the back.
Great book for inquisitive minds!
