Review: "The Word in a Second" by Isabel Martins and Bernardo Carvalho

"Every time a second crosses the world (always running, always in a hurry), millions of things happen here, there, everywhere . . . While you turn the pages of this book, the world doesn't stop . . ."

Through large scale pictures and simple text, "The World in a Second" touches upon moments around the world--from a storm in the Baltic sea, to a horn honking in Mexico City, to a package being delivered in Turkey. In the back of the book, a map tells you where each moment took place and what time it occurred relative to the other locations. This book is great for encouraging a global viewpoint in students grades four and up. Click on the link above to reserve a copy today.
