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