Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This child-friendly, interactive book about earth's history and its current state of disrepair is part creation myth, part environmental-awareness tale. In a chatty, upbeat tone, British collaborators Butterworth and Inkpen explain how God created light, darkness and the planets, including one standoutAthe earth. The authors provide an extensive list of God's handiwork (plants, animals, land masses, water and people), while also describing how humans have "chopped down the forests... filled the air with dirty smoke... poisoned the rivers and seas." On the up side, they also assert that, with God's help, humans can learn to restore and care for the earth He made. The pair's engaging text and cheery, often comical, artwork makes the oft-told tale from the Bible's book of Genesis sound fresh for young readers. And the interactive elements, including a rousing roaring-lion pop-up and several clever lift-the-flaps, will keep readers coming back for more. Ages 3-9.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure magic, April 21, 1999
This review is from: Wonderful Earth (Hardcover)
This is a truly wonderful book. If you want to buy a book for a child in the age range 4-8, think seriously about this book. It is the story of creation with a religious bent, but not wandering too far from scientific accuracy, leaving the reader with an environmental message and a self-affirmation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book, January 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wonderful Earth (Hardcover)
It is a beautiful book ideal for children between the ages of 5 (you read it to them) and 10 (they can read it themselves). It introduces children to God and His creation, with emphasis on the fact that He made us and all the creatures on the earth, and that is why we should look after the earth. Highly recommended. Pictures are also lovely to look at and talk about with children.
