"[Me and the World] contains colorful, -varied infographics that discuss topics such as common names, breakfast foods, sports, and religions. The information is presented in various forms, including color-coded and labeled maps, graphs, percentages, and labeled and captioned illustrations. There are many opportunities to compare life around the world. . . . [T]he infographics themselves are interesting to study and contemplate. A teacher, librarian, or parent could help children examine, analyze, and use this information."-School Library Journal
