While reading through this book to review, my husband walked by and saw it. His comment to me was, as a kid, that was exactly the type of book he would have enjoyed. Lots of bright, comic-styled illustrations; true, captivating content: and a good air of mystery.

This is not a book that you have to read in its entirety or in order. There is the option of reading it cover-to-cover or flipping the pages to see what catches your attentiion. It's a win-win either way! Use it as a read-aloud or as a read-by-myself, It's perfect for either!

HEADS UP - There are a couple of references to evolutionary content (millions of years).
