Presenting information in the form of images accompanied by minimal text, infographics convey an easily understood overview of a complex subject visually. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eInfographics for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e playfully instructs readers on how information can be arranged and presented in graphic format, inviting kids to add their own personal touches with fun consumable activity pages that introduce key communications skills for digital natives.Martineau and Barker have created a wonderful classroom and at-home  tool. Though the title is less than intriguing, a vibrant and colorful  layout guides readers through infographics on a wide array of topics  such as animals, biology, space, trees, and dinosaurs. The opening  spread introduces readers to the concept with a simple text definition  (\"Infographics show us information using pictures, words, and numbers\")  accompanied by a few accessible examples that provide a visual  definition of the look and function of infographics (e.g., flowcharts,  diagrams, word clouds). Readers will be impressed with the information  they can gather from this volume (for examples, humans can go 30 days  without food but only seven without water). Later, activities on topics  such as saving water and drawing the digestion process help to engage  kids. A few of the subjects invite children to draw and color in the  book itself, a flaw for libraries. Suitable for educators and parents in  need of a bright introduction to infographics.\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003eSusan Martineau is the author of many creative and educational activity books, including Slimy Science and Awesome Experiments and Bugs in the Garden (b small publishing).

Our brains are good at making sense of pictures. It takes us longer to work out what words are trying to tell us. This means that pictures are helpful when we are trying to understand something.","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301045489893,"sku":"NP9781580897235","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781580897235.jpg?v=1767730045","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/infographics-for-kids-isbn-9781580897235","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
