My kids and I really enjoyed reading this together. It led to some interesting discussions and what-ifs.

Well done introduction to the big bang and galaxy formation. My kids, 9 & 11, found it funny and thought provoking.

This first book from the series of Earth History Cartoon identifies briefly the born of the space through Big Bang and the beginning of life on the earth.
