Synopsis:
In this accessible informational picture book, young readers can follow the fascinating story of how we got from the very beginning of the universe to life today on the "bright blue ball floating in space" called Earth.
Science journalist Floor Bal and award-winning illustrator Sebastiaan Van Doninck have combined their talents to create a captivating, kid-friendly introduction to the history of the universe and life on Earth. The spirited narrative and vibrant illustrations make millions of years of history entertaining and give this book read-aloud appeal.
Our Thoughts:
Learn all about the beginning of the universe in this beautifully illustrated and educational picture book!
It Started With A Big Bang begins with the bang that created the universe and continues through time to show how Earth and its' moon were formed, how it molded into land and water, and how the life that started in Earth's oceans grew and evolved into land dwellers. Of course, it includes the evolution of humans as well!
This is both an explanation of the 'creation' of the universe and our home planet as well as a timeline of history that includes Earth's earliest chaotic years, the dinosaurs (and how they disappeared), our earliest mammals and humans, all the way up to the present!
The illustrations in this picture book are absolutely stunning! I personally want our own copy of this book just for the cover alone!
