HISTORY
Jennings, Ken

Maps and Geography

(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.
