This book is very informative. I feel as though it may be too complex for younger ages. I would use it at the lowest, in a middle school education setting.

Pickpick

This non fiction book puts a humorous but informative spin on technology in our everyday lives. The author provides a glossary Athens the end of the book which includes technical terms as well. This book get children thinking about how technology works and no informs them of the many inventions in science. The illustrations are very detailed as each technological piece is broken apart and labeled.
