Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Did you know the first motorcar race was in France in 1894 and that the average speed in the race was 15 miles an hour? Or that the average heart beats over two billion times in a lifetime without stopping? Or that the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 128°F below zero in Antarctica in 1983? Well, these facts and many others like them would be yours if you read this information-intensive, oversize book. Like other books from this publisher, there are pages and pages of pictures, captions, info bites and narrative chunks—all chock full of information that browsers will enjoy reading. Information seekers will be guided by a table of contents that divides the individual fact-filled pages into categories such as, "Space," "Sports," and "The Future," and by an index that will point researchers to their specific area of study. There is something for everyone here in this waiting-room-type book that invites frequent, short-term visits. 2000, Kingfisher Publications. Ages 8 up. Reviewer: Judy Katsh
