| Summary/Abstract |
A picture-book spread relates a few consciousness-raising facts about such topics as nationalities, food, language, and religion. With the aid of a calculator, even younger kids can do the math; the tricky part is to get children to really understand the ideas. This highly informative book will get kids thinking and asking questions. At this moment there are more than 6 billion people on this planet. Picturing so many people at one time is hard - but what if we imagine the whole world as a village of just 100 people?In this village: 22 people speak a Chinese dialect, 20 earn less than a dollar a day, 17 cannot read or write, 50 are often hungry, 24 have a television in their homes. If the World Were a Village tells us who we are, where we live, how fast we are growing, which languages we speak, which religions we practice and more. So come and learn about our global village. What you discover may surprise you! This book is a part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.

| Summary/Abstract |
Imagine if you could condense all 3.5 billion years of life on Earth into just one hour. If you did, the dinosaurs wouldn't show up until 56 minutes into the hour and they'd be gone three minutes later. Modern humans (the ones we are related to) would amble into view at the very end of the hour, with just 0.2 seconds to spare. This amazing title introduces readers to things that are simply too big to grasp. By scaling them down, the author bring them into focus. Besides being a useful too to engineers and architects, scale is an important part of numeracy. Here big ideas and issues are scaled down into something more meaningful.
