(3) 4-6 Illustrated by James Brown. This eminently browsable, nearly poster-size book is a self-described "essential miscellany of fascinating facts." Platt devotes double-page spreads to thirty wide-ranging topics, from knot types to music notation to human organs to the Periodic Table. Brown's screenprinted, monochromatic illustrations are stylized infographics preceded by informative text that will appeal to all ages and may inspire further, more systematic research.
