5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL, 1 Mar 2007
This review is from: Earth Story (Paperback)
I've never been compelled to write a review before today!
This is a wonderfully dramatic, beautifully illustrated children's book.
It explains the origins of the universe in a simple but poetic way.
Perfect for my 6 year old who was desperate to learn how life began.

5.0 out of 5 stars Earth Story & Life Story review, 2 Jan 2009
By J. Hippely "JoolzJosh" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Earth Story (Hardcover)
Earth Story, and it's 'sequel' Life Story, are beautifully illustrated, large format, paperback books which explain in simple terms the Big Bang Theory and Evolutionary Theory. The illustrations cover the whole page, and clear text tells the story in short chunks of about a paragraph per page.

Earth Story begins with the Big Bang and ends just before the beginnings of life on Earth. My kids loved it and begged me to order 'Life Story' right away. I ordered it through Amazon & it arrived in 36 hours.

Both my kids, aged 6 and 8, loved these stories, and I was equally interested. Recommended for all ages, but especially ages 5 to 9.
