An Autobiography of Our World
Get ready for the ultimate autobiography! In its own words our very own Earth tells the story of its life – past, present and future. Through the bright and bold comic-style format we find out about the evolution of Earth itself and its inhabitants, the biodiversity of its lifeforms, and what is likely to happen next on this special planet.
As packed with fascinating facts as the Earth itself, young readers will be engrossed from start to finish. I particularly enjoyed the detailed timeline of all the different periods in Earth's history, how each contributed to the Earth's development and the creatures that evolved and lived during each time period. This was presented across a number of pages, giving breathing room to absorb and enjoy the information.
With Earth as a narrator talking directly to the reader, this is a unique and engaging information book. Readers of all ages will be entertained and informed by it’s accessible and fun style. With guest narration slots for the Universe, the Sun and the Moon, humour is well employed, complimenting the comic-style and drawing the reader in. This appealing format is expertly balanced with the perfect level of detail for young inquisitive readers – both those first showing an interest in science and those looking to widen their knowledge.
An exceptional information book full of entertainingly presented facts, a must for all non-fiction bookshelves.
