I've always had a thing for cross-sections. I'm curious by nature, and what better way to learn about the inner workings of something than to crack it open and see it in action?
Several non-fiction series explore cross-sections of various things, from machinery to homes, to historical constructions, to the human body. Here are a few titles and series available at the library that you might enjoy:
• Inside a _____ - various titles in the Intermediate Nonfiction section. The photo above is from Inside a Stove by Claire Seymour.
• Coolest Cross Sections Ever by Stephen Biesty (Intermediate Nonfiction, 608 Bie)
• Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith by Curtis Saxton (Intermediate Nonfiction, 791.43 Sax)
• What's Inside _____? - various titles in the Intermediate Nonfiction section include What's Inside Plants, What's Inside Buildings, and What's Inside Airplanes.
Come ask a reference librarian about exploring something in cross-section today!
And how about cross-sections of candy bars? Here's an easy page. Piece of "cake?" Okay, try the harder page!
