Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years

McAnulty, S.
This engaging picture book helps students learn about Earth and her life through the centuries from friendly and chatty Earth herself. Many issues in Earth’s lifespan are addressed including sustainability, environmental stewardship, and the contrast between how Earth supports life and the hardships of extreme environments, and factual information and an historical sequence of events are included. The images, enjoyable text, and personification of the Earth all work together to help students understand planetary issues. A useful read-aloud to introduce and facilitate discussion of Earth and Space Science topics, and suitable as an independent read to stimulate imagination and curiosity.
