A funny, fresh comic-strip look at the amazing (and very long!) history of planet Earth

Take a whirlwind comic strip trip through 4.5 billion fascinating years of Earth’s history, discovering how Earth and the solar system formed, how the first life evolved in the oceans, LUCA, the ancestor of all living things, what became of the dinosaurs, and much, MUCH more.

Each book works as a timeline, combining information spreads with comic strip stories, and supported throughout by high-interest facts and plenty of humour. Perfect for kids aged 9 and up.
