Review

An interesting, informative story about the formation of earth told by a very knowledgeable ground hog and a clever and very smart earth worm! The reader learns how the earth was the result of a Big Bang that left a cloud of dust and and gases. Formation of continents and oceans and rivers are all described in easy to understand terms with simple graphics and explanations. Humor is sprinkled throughout and the story moves right along. I found this to be a wonderfully informative book and a great way to get the reluctant reader turned on to science and reading! I hope there are more books like this!

Overall Book Score: excellent
