OverviewPerch on top of a skyscraper with the Stickmen, then descend to street level and travel below to see all the layers of a city. But beware, some layers are smellier than others! Follow the Stickmen to land on a helipad, ride in a double-decker underground subway, and view a giant lump of fat in a sewer. The Stickmen unveil the hidden systems that keep a city lit up, networked, and clean, and reveal fascinating facts and statistics along the way.

The organizational layer-by-layer strategy works well for the most part. From the sunlight zone to ocean trenches, readers learn about plants and animals as well as the methods and tools scientists use to study each subject. Atmosphere considers satellites, weather forecasting, ozone depletion, and more, from exosphere to troposphere. Mountains and Valleys loses some focus by including topics as varied as plains, tectonic plates, and the earth's core. Stick figures appear on most spreads among the detailed drawings and diagrams. Many unfamiliar terms are defined in the text rather than in the brief glossary. Lack of source documentation means that readers will need help locating additional resources on specific topics. VERDICT: Good starting points for curious browsers, who will pore over the pages and may be motivated to seek more in-depth information elsewhere. --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple --Journal Chock-full of information, these guides will intrigue browsers.
