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.
