Economy
I liked this book for three main reasons. This book is an information book about economies and goes the definition of economy. Also it goes over the elements of an economy. For example the book goes over process, who sets the prices, world numbers, unemployment, inflation, trade and markets. I liked this book because of the very informational pictures the fact that there are a lot of them. The pictures help me understand what the text is talking about. Also if I get bored of reading there are plenty of pictures to distract me and regain my interest. Another reason I like this book is the organization of the book. It doesn’t contain too many words about each topic it introduces which keeps me from feeling over whelmed or getting bored. The third and final reason that I like this book is that all the pictures have a description. For example if there was a picture of an economic process there would be a small description of what the picture was talking about. This helps to clarify things so I don’t get confused while I am reading. In conclusion I liked this book because it had good pictures, comfortable amount of text, and the pictures have descriptions. This book doesn’t really have a message other than trying to share the knowledge of the economy. ( )

A non-fiction book filled with facts and pictures that explain how economic systems function the world over. Great for the higher elementary grades, this book can serve as a way to create interest in the economy during a social studies lesson. It contains pictures with detailed facts on a whole range of subjects including inequality, personal life choices, and other real life issues. This book can also be used to teach about different systems of governments the world over and as a research source for a social studies project. ( )
