Take a journey through the history of our planet...
A perfect introduction to history for young and old, Timeline travels the story of our world, through a lens that captures myths and legends, dinosaurs, the great civilizations, kings and knights, discoveries and inventions.
Timeline shows the human race building settlements, fighting wars, exploring the oceans, living in castles, yurts and skyscrapers. It takes our planet from the Big Bang to the threats of climate change. And it does not neglect the imagination―here too are dragons, icons and fictional heroes.
Each scene puts global events in perspective through space and time, drawing parallels and connections with careful attention and a refreshing playfulness.

Gr 3-5-This large-format book examines the history of the world, starting with the big bang and continuing to the 2010s. Each spread covers a different time period, with renderings of the culturally or geologically significant aspects and a short paragraph of text. Exploration, including space, is also covered. Notes abound throughout the illustrations, explaining different facets and interjecting interesting facts. There is a Eurocentric focus, especially once more modern history is reviewed. The color palette is muted, and the cartoonlike illustrations are full of detail that will keep readers interested. VERDICT While the vast scope of this book makes it unsuitable for research use, it is the ideal text for reluctant readers, who will likely find tidbits that will spark curiosity and further investigation.-Ellen Norton, Naperville Public Library, Naperville, ILα(c) Copyright 2011.
