Record-Breaking Building Feats

For the last few years the term ‘infographics’ has been tossed around as the next best thing since sliced bread for those kids who have trouble focusing. In this book, each page is a different bright color with other brightly colored shapes layed on top of one another. The shapes are instantly recognizable as an auto, a building, an animal, and so on. The bright colors keep your eyes jumping from one thing to another. And in graphics, size matters. Objects are shown in diminishing size as the quantity gets smaller. It very much reminds me of a kids almanac but without all the information. This particular book contains ten building feats, ranging from fish aquariums to bridges to office buildings. No history about any of the buildings but a list of longest, tallest, most capacity, and so on of each building. Not much reading necessary, but then the information is semi interesting and not important.
