Our Review Panel says...

What’s Technology is a visually appealing and interesting non-fiction text with information which is bang up to date such as AI technology, detailing 13 major inventions that changed the world.

The text is well laid out and easy to access in bite-size chunks and includes fun facts, timelines and steps to take learning further. Each section includes fabulous cartoon-style illustrations as well as more accurate diagrams and drawings. Information is easy to find with a clear contents page, glossary and a page giving children ideas on how to take what they have learnt in the book further. The vocabulary and information are most suited for Key Stage Two pupils and could support STEM aspects of the curriculum, as well as some history topics. Timelines include a level of diversity, including women in STEM.
