Editorial Review

A noteworthy review of Technology Then and Now from School Library Journal on November 1, 2024

Cover: Airplanes Then and Now

This series introduces young readers to the evolution of key inventions, including the plane, car, TV, computer, and train. Each book provides about 15 pages of well-organized text, covering the origin of the item, its inventor, significant advancements over time, and potential future developments. The writing is clear and informative, making the topics accessible for young readers. The format is traditional, with full pages of text in paragraph format, accompanied by color photographs and illustrations on the adjoining page. Each title ends with a ‘Wonder More’ section, encouraging further reflection, along with fun facts, a glossary, an index, and additional reading suggestions. ­VERDICT A fine purchase for libraries needing books on these topics.
