Description

Children will be fascinated by this unique and beautifully illustrated series. Each book contains a sequence in which the same viewpoint is held over time sometimes minutes or hours, sometimes thousands (or even millions) of years. The carefully selected time sequence tells the story behind a particular subject, such as the story of a pyramid in Ancient Egypt or a towering castle in Europe. A special thumb index on each page's edge allows for quick reference between time frames, revealing intriguing comparisons. The glossary of each book is illustrated to entice readers into appreciating nonfiction features as sources of information.
