Super Football Infographics
Eric Braun
Keeping up with football's hard-hitting facts can be as challenging as scoring against a tough defense. You need to take in long distances (the longest field goal in NFL history was 64 yards), huge sizes (the average NFL offensive lineman in 2013 weighed 310 pounds), and incredible details (fans at football games can be loud enough to cause earthquakes).

Infographics make essential concepts about football easy to absorbÑfrom how to throw a spiral to comparing the top players. The "data art" provides opportunities for readers to visually take in information about the sport through charts, diagrams, and illustrations. The vibrant infographics on each spread appeal to struggling readers and help them analyze and interpret football statistics.

Colorful infographics convey key information about basketballÑsuch as diagramming plays, explaining game strategies, and celebrating record holders. Content-rich "data art" allows readers to take in information through visual literacy skills. The vibrant infographics on each spread appeal to struggling readers and help them analyze and interpret information and statistics.

Here Come the Humpbacks!
April Pulley Sayre
In this latest book by acclaimed science writer April Pulley Sayre, young readers follow along as a mother humpback whale and her calf make their annual trek from the warm waters of the Caribbean to their summer feeding grounds off the coast of New England and back again. Within this extraordinary story of migration, Sayre provides information about how humpback whales breathe, sing, and how they got their name—a secondary layer of text expands upon the more intricate details. But aside from the basics about the humpback whale species, HERE COME THE HUMPBACKS! also delves into the dangers these whales face—from other mammals and sea life such as hungry orcas, to man-made threats like pollution and giant ships. Jamie Hogan’s stunning, rich pastel illustrations complement Sayre’s text beautifully, and make this book a great choice for a read-aloud in the classroom, library, or at home.
