REVIEWS
"While the book is geared for upper elementary school children, big kids shouldn't let the target audience scare them away. A handy little reference book or refresher course for adults...." Traverse City Record-Eagle
"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 48-page book for children. This pithy book, beautifully illustrated by former Suttons Bay resident Tom Woodruff, examines the region in relation to the history of earth." Leelanau Enterprise
