Gr 3–5—Focusing on the latest innovations, this timely set will appeal to tech-savvy readers in addition to those who are interested in learning more about today's hottest technology trends. High-interest and immensely readable, each volume provides an overview and examines current applications as well as possible uses in the future; potential pitfalls are also addressed, giving students a well-rounded and forthright synopsis of the subject. "How It Works" presents the audience with an up-close look at the technology, complete with detailed illustrations, while the inclusion of numerous vibrant photos demonstrates the tech's rather ubiquitous presence in the real world. A quiz-based section provides a satisfying conclusion to each book.
VERDICT Recommended for libraries with a strong interest in STEAM.
