Every Second by Bruno Gibert
This striking portrait of our world in numbers makes statistics fun and accessible to children and their grown-ups. Every second, somewhere across the globe, an aeroplane takes off and another one lands. Two people die, and four babies enter the world. 15,000 plastic bottles are produced and 1,600 are recycled. 8,000 scoops of ice cream are eaten, 200,000 text messages are sent. This book of remarkable facts, lushly illustrated with memorable infographics, reveals the incredible things that happen each and every second in our world."Young children love to learn about the world around them, and are full of questionsThis Bruno Gilbert book will feed their imaginations, and give them another dozen reasons to ask “Why?” So, whether you are interested in how many lightning strikes there are each second, or the volume of cow farts produced each second, there is something in here to tickle everyone’s imagination!"
* Teach Early Years Magazine *"Every Second appeals on a visual as well as informative level. Gilbert has used a stylish palette and bold, graphic illustrations to add punch to the, at times uncomfortable, facts included. As you'd expect from a text published by What on Earth Books, this is a thought-provoking picture book for a more enlightened generation."
* Armadillo Magazine *Bruno Gibert has published more than twenty inventive works as both an author and an illustrator including an alternative dictionary of 500 random words and a children's guide to conducting an orchestra. He lives and works in Paris, France.
