Information Graphics: Animal Kingdom

The Information Graphics: Animal Kingdom book is a book for children comprised mostly of infographics about the animal kingdom. Its bright, bold, simple style makes it a suitable choice for children learning about zoology. The book highlights various aspects of the anatomy of animals and humans visually in order to single out processes and make information more understandable (The Guardian, 2014)

This book’s creation reflects the value of visual graphics in processing information. When appealing to a wider audience, graphics can do the leg work of processing and making sense of information. Nowhere is this more apparent than in their use with children, who may have a hard time visualizing numbers on their own. 

Books such as this reflect a certain cultural value around science. The book covers different aspects of animal activity such as speed, senses, and anatomy in order to create a complete sense of animal workings. Published in the United Kingdom, the books show growing societal value around scientific exploration, notably over and alongside stories with narratives.  (Big Picture Press, 2014)
