This was an excellent supplement to our prehistory studies. My son loved the humorous way that the information was served up in this book.

Full of interesting facts and funny little cartoons, this book examines life way before the dinosaurs. Hannah Bonner presents the Silurian and Devonian periods in accessible terms and with appealing and informative illustrations. Hand this one to any kid interested in dinosaurs. It's a cool way to find out what was there before the dinosaurs were a twinkle in evolution's eye.
(Especially cool to me was seeing pictures of how the continents were arranged... before Pangea!)

Read aloud to my daughter over the course of several nights. This is brilliant and I learned so much about early history! The cartoon illustrations are amusing and enlightening.

A fun, concise history of the Silurian and Devonian eras presented in a child-friendly way. My only concern is the dated illustrations/art style but I have faith that the information will be more important to those reading this for school or for fun.
