Description

Fire. Explosions. Meteorites. Chaos. Early life on Earth included all manner of freakish, alien creatures until the arrival of the big-brained Homo sapiens. Peter Ackroyd explains the beginnings of the Earth in this book which is part of his epic ten-volume history of the world for children.

Reviews

The Guardian "It is written as an exciting and dramatic story which makes it possible to absorb an enormous amount of information with little effort. Beautiful DK art and production values reinforce the quality."
