Each of the four books forms a chapter in the history of the world. Fittingly, human beings are largely absent from the pictures in the first three volumes (a green hand directs readers to added notes), but rocks, bacteria, dinosaurs, and fish, all expressively drawn, provide plenty of commentary and a bit of humor in speech balloons. The information in these four books is presented in an entertaining and accessible way, with accurate yet fun illustrations and a clear and engaging text. With no more than six panels to the folio-sized page, there's no crowding. The nicely designed books use bold caps and asterisked notes within the text, offering the added bits of information and explanation to help readers understand key points. Straightforward and lighthearted, these books in the Cartoon History of the Earth series use comic-style art and brief text to follow contemporary theory, from the Big Bang and how life developed on this planet to humans' spread across the planet and the beginnings of civilization and trade.
Reviewed with others in the Cartoon History of the Earth series.
