4.0 out of 5 starsnice picture book for beginners
By Eldog on August 30, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Prehistory spans a time of billions of years. Prehistoric life spans a time of hundreds of millions of years. This book is less than 70 pages long. How can you possibly fit hundreds of millions of years of content into so few pages? It is a good beginner book for kids, but, anyones quest for prehistoric knowledge should not end here.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood for older kids
By Mrs. DL on February 26, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
My son loves prehistoric animals and we thought this would be a great factual book for him.
It focuses on a lot of general prehistoric era facts and not necessarily on the animals themselves.
We returned this book because it is great for older kids (8 plus years old).
Generally, it has been difficult finding factual prehistoric books for the 4-6 age range.

4.0 out of 5 starsOverview of the history of life
By Anonymous on June 11, 2004
Format: Hardcover
This book is a good overview of the history of life on earth. There are a lot of great pictures in the book.
Some parents may want to be aware the book presents earth's material from an evolutionary perspective. Although I personally do not think that the scientific case for biological evolution has been definitive proven, I use this book as a supplement to our homeschool curriculum to expose my kids to the basic ideas of evolution. I want them to respect this perspective and not lampoon it. And this book is a great way to introduce kids to the foundational ideas. Parents who do hold an evolutionary perspective will probably appreciate the book for the same reason.
My only slight criticism of this book is that the book gives minimal discussion to the multiple extinction and replacement events that have happened throughout the history of the earth. This is an intriguing issue of earth's history which very few textbooks give any discussion to.
My other criticism is that the book doesn't clearly differentiate between modern humans and hominids, their differing behaviors and culture. But, again, this isn't unusual. Many science textbooks don't seem to make this differentiation either.
