"An attractive introduction to social studies in infographic form. The titles all begin with four questions designed to pique readers' interest ('Do you wonder where people live in the world?'), and the text is divided into 12 brief chapters. Factual data is presented, such as dates and statistics, as well as more complex concepts, all presented comprehensibly. For example, World Geography shows how rivers are vital for food and communication, maps the world's seven highest mountains, shows the layers of habitat in a rain forest, and discusses smog. US Government defines democracy and explains taxation, voting, and the three branches of American government. Economics covers topics such as the use of assembly lines, recycling electronics, seed money, and the idea of a global economy. The colorful charts, maps, and illustrations that fill the pages of this series are sure to appeal to young readers who live in a high-tech, digital world." --School Library Journal
