Product Description

Review

It's fabulous.

(The Scotsman )

The drawings are wild and anarchic and the subjects really benefit from the pop-up approach.

(The Mail on Sunday )

Product Description
This pop-up book is literally larger than life! Neal's unique perspective on the beginnings of the world, the Big Bang theory and Evolution presents LIFE in a format accessible to even the very young - a perfect gift book for all. With pops, flaps and tabs.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, entertaining explanations of the big bang and evolution for kids, 26 Jul 2007
By J Koenig (England) - See all my reviews
An excellent book for 4 - 10 year olds, girls and boys. It helps to answer their difficult questions about how the world started and what happened to the dinosaurs and it stimulates them to ask more questions. It gives you the opportunity to explain that humans and dinosaurs didn't live at the same time. My children keep coming back to it time and again and it always leads to more discussion and questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic pop-ups, 13 Jan 2007
Science with buckets of fun, every household and classroom should have one. It is literally the story of everything (told in 11 double page spreads), from the explosive and colourful pop-up of the big bang, (which manages to expand beyond the size of the book). Through to the formation of the solar-system and the evolution of life of Earth. Neal Layton's illustrations are wild and wooly, the sort that children would draw themselves, with a hint of the cut outs and collages of Terry Gillian. All the pop-ups are different and work appropriately to the subject matter they illustrate. Icthyostegas climbs out of an ancient sea and gains legs. Lift the flaps on the mammals family tree to find out what creatures they evolve into. There is an extended time line of houses, from mud huts to blocks of flats at the back. A great book for boys of all ages, who love touchy-feely books and to soak up information about 'stuff' like sponges. Excellent value.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous, funny book, 6 Nov 2008
By V. Brown (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Story of Everything (Hardcover)
Our 4 year old son loves this book, and its one of the few we don't mind reading night after night! It manages to include science and history while making reference to the uncertainties of life (oh no it doesn't, oh yes it does). The pop ups are great and fairly sturdy (though we have broken ichthyostegas and the prickly dinosaur after about a years hard use). I wish there had been books like this when I was a kid.
