A clever comic strip adventure that takes kids on a trip through Earth's incredible history!

Here's a simple, easy-to-understand chronicle of Earth's long history - 4.5 billion years, to be exact. Starting with the big bang and ending 66 million years ago with the extinction of the dinosaurs, comic book-style panels cover all the highlights in the evolution of Earth: the formation of the solar system, why our sun is so important, where our moon came from, how life developed on Earth and, of course, everyone's favorite prehistoric creatures, dinosaurs! Readers will learn the fascinating science behind our amazing planet's origins, one entertaining comic strip at a time.
