Klappentext

The latest book in the Comic Book History series offers a lively one-of-a-kind tale of how life evolved on Earth!

This fun introduction to the evolution of life on Earth is presented in colorful comic book style panels. Though Earth's story started 4.6 billion years ago with the Big Bang, the story of life on Earth didn't start until around 4 billion years ago, when the first living cells formed. And life hasn't stopped evolving since! Chock-full of all the thrilling high points from how life began to Earth's changing environments and species, this is a whirlwind exploration of evolution like it's never been done before.

This title is part of the popular series from award-winning children's author Anna Claybourne featuring the same robustly researched science and history facts presented in the same bright, busy format, illustrated by Emmanuel Cerisier. The humor-infused, nondidactic approach makes the books accessible and entertaining. The book includes a timeline that appears across the top of the pages and helps put the evolutionary leaps into perspective. There are numerous curriculum links, including to basic Earth science and to all manner of life science topics, from the classification and needs of living things to growth and change in animals. Many kid-friendly subjects are featured as well, such as dinosaurs, Neanderthals and superbugs. There are a comprehensive glossary and an index at the back. The book ends with the intriguing consideration of what might come next as life on Earth continues to evolve.
