PREHISTORIC GREAT LAKES
An Illustrated History For Children
By John Mitchell and Tom Woodruff
PREHISTORIC GREAT LAKES explores the geological formation of the Great Lakes region and the bountiful natural resources which have shaped human history. Travel through time from the Precambrian bedrock of the Lake Superior region, laden with copper and iron-to limestone deposits rich with fossils from ancient seas-to a legacy coal and oil from lush and tropical swamps. Discover how the collision of continents, the power of glaciers and the persistence of life in an ever-changing environment shaped the Great Lakes region. | NEW RELEASE!

"Our First three books explored aspects of the Great Lakes after the glaciers, a period of about 12,000 years. PREHISTORIC GREAT LAKES examines the region in relation to the 4.6 billion year history of the earth. Writing this book was a great educational experience, revealing how the weight of time has added beauty and depth to today's Great Lakes region." -John Mitchell
"While the 48-page book is geared for upper elementary school children, big kids shouldn't let the target audience scare them away. Prehistoric Great Lakes is also a handy little reference book or refresher course for adults who don't know igneous rock from metamorphic rock." -TC Record Eagle

"Prehistoric Great Lakes is packed with facts about what Michigan was like when the Earth first came to be. It's like a time line, but with more art and text as the reader follows life developing in the Great Lakes area. This may spur your young reader to be a future fossil hunter. -Cathy Collison, Detroit Free Press
"John Mitchell has condensed 4.6 billion years into a 47-page book for children called Prehistoric Great Lakes, An Illustrated History for Children. This pithy book beautifully illustrated by former Suttons Bay resident Tom Woodruff examines the region in relation to the history of earth." -The Leelanau Enterprise
