Booklist

Book Review: Grades 2-5 – Readers interested in how our modern technologies developed will find a great starting point in the Sequence Developments in Technology series (6 titles), which traces everyday technologies from their origins and pinpoints major turning points in their evolution. Space Travel from Then to Now includes the first trips to space, the creation of space shuttles and stations, and the use of rovers to explore Mars. A time line at the bottom of each two-page spread marks each innovation as it is discussed, visually placing it within the context of the technology leading to its development. Each title includes a final section addressing possibilities for the future, a glossary, suggested books and websites, and an index. The short, clear chapters and large, colorful photographs and illustrations will make these titles quick reads for young readers and future inventors.
