Wow in the World
Written by Mindy Thomas and Guy Raz, Illustrated by Mike Centeno
Wow in the World podcasters pack in dinosaur facts, infographics, and funny conversations. I enjoyed it and learned some things, such as- in order to be considered a fossil, remains have to be at least 10,000 years old. There’s a great infographic showing all the species that have ever lived versus the small slice that are alive right now (page 13), a year-long calendar that represents all events on earth as if they’d been condensed into one year, and pictures of dinosaur teeth compared to household objects for a visual representation of size. Students will find lots of interesting facts in this book!
