(4) 4-6 Ken Jennings' Junior Genius Guides series. Illustrated by Mike Lowery. Beginning with DNA and cellular structure, lighthearted text explains quirky aspects of the human body including the brain, skeleton, amputation, digestion, and more. Cartoon illustrations echo the narrative's goofy tone. Coded messages, "extra credit" boxes, charts, activities, and an "official junior genius certification exam" are included. Accessibility is limited by the generic chapter titles ("First Period"; "Art Class") and no index.

(4) 4-6 Ken Jennings' Junior Genius Guides series. Illustrated by Mike Lowery. In this installment, former Jeopardy! champ Jennings concentrates on the ancient Egyptians. The breezy collection of facts is organized by themes and further divided into subcategories, though lack of an index and uninformative chapter titles ("Third Period"; "Recess") makes navigation difficult. Cartoony black-and-white illustrations on each page add levity to the subject matter. "Official Junior Genius Certification Exam" included.

(4) 4-6 Ken Jennings' Junior Genius Guides series. Illustrated by Mike Lowery. Former Jeopardy! champ Jennings offers random facts (more so than other volumes in the series) and anecdotes on the topic. The lively presentation and humorous tone will appeal to a broad audience, but lack of an index or informative chapter titles ("Second Period"; "Lunch") makes navigation difficult. Cartoony black-and-white drawings add to the lightheartedness (and busyness); sidebars provide supplemental information.

(4) 4-6 Ken Jennings' Junior Genius Guides series. Illustrated by Mike Lowery. In this rambling, goofy narrative, readers are exposed to a host of facts about our solar system; stars and phenomena throughout the universe; and space travel. Cartoonlike sketches, quizzes with coded answers, and additional factual asides fill the pages. An appended final exam allows "junior geniuses" to test their learning. Lack of an index or informative chapter titles ("Third Period"; "Recess") makes navigation difficult.
