Brown, James. A World of Information.

Brown, James. A World of Information. Candlewick Press   2017  63p $25.00  ISBN 978-0-7636-9348-0  all ages     Nonfiction  VG-BN        

This is an oversized collection of useful facts and trivia.  Each of thirty double-paged spreads presents a specific topic, including the anatomy of a bicycle, different types of knots, polygons, the Fibonacci Sequence, and musical notations, and the standardizations of paper sizes.  Each section is displayed in a monochromatic color scheme, with eye-catching graphics and photographs and fascinating facts.  The excellent page layout and choices of typefaces and colors enhance the offered information.  While the book presents, by necessity, a cursory overview of fascinating information, it is sure to whet the interest of its readers for more material. Highly recommended for all libraries.
