Children will be fascinated by this unique series. Each title contains a sequence in which the same viewpoint is held over time — sometimes minutes or hours, sometimes thousands of years. The carefully selected sequence brings a particular subject to life: the history of a castle, for example, the sequence of events in a famous volcanic eruption, or how people may travel to Mars one day. A combination of detailed illustrations (with many humorous things to look out for), a running narrative and information panels take us on our journey through time. A special die-cut thumb index allows quick reference between time frames, revealing intriguing comparisons.
