Review:
Have you ever read a book
that folds out the length of a triceratops? Don’t panic, you’ll find these
pages full of fun and interesting information regarding earth and its different
ages, periods and earths plants and animals.
Earth’s process of life
began 4.6 billion years ago. Single cell animals began to appear at around 4
billion years. As aquatic life continued to develop and grow. At the 300
million year mark earth had developed trees, insects and even animals. As the
temperatures changed so did the various creatures. Each of these periods of
major change have a very specific name such as Proterozoic, Devonian, Paleogene
and more. As readers flip through these sturdy two-sided pages they can easily navigate
each period and see how man and animal lived and survived.
The back pages are where
readers can see the very expansive time line in which the earth changed. There are
notes that share with readers when humans stand, discover fire, master fire and
so on. Colorful illustrations depict the habitants and habitats of life on
earth. Parents and teachers will find this guide to be handy in teaching how
life evolved and even how plants and animals migrated from water to land.
