Gr 4 Up—From the cover that opens like a snazzy silver laptop to the detailed images of the inner workings of this decade's hottest technological innovations, this title will capture the attention of a range of readers. Younger readers might linger over the images of the inner layers of the Apple Watch, while middle grade readers may consider engineering careers that will allow them to tinker with technology. With the current focus on innovative and student-driven learning, this book serves as a launching point into deeper research. Those seeking in-depth descriptions of how inventions are developed or produced should look elsewhere, but readers in search of everything cool in technology will definitely want to interact with this colorful, engaging text. The cover does present an issue, as the binding is a bit flimsy, with hinging on the top and bottom and only a thin tape binding in between the covers.
VERDICT School and public libraries should consider this resource as a browsable purchase but might need to add binding support.
