Review Quotes

"A panoramic view of history and prehistory on a long sheet, supplemented by select 'breaking news' highlights. It begins with the Big Bang and then repeatedly branches until, by the end, 11 parallel tracks record select events and discoveries both in nature and in five broad human geo-cultural areas." - Kirkus Reviews

"This oversize timeline of the origins of the universe will capture the attention of students. Six feet of world history are illustrated and illuminated in tiny detail ... The format of the book makes it a great introduction to ancient and recent history for upper elementary schoolers. VERDICT: fans of National Geographic's Weird but True series will love this high-interest overview of the universe and world history." - School Library Journal
