When Planet Earth Was New
by James Gladstone
On This Page
Description
"It has taken billions of years for Earth to become the planet it is today. When Planet Earth Was New looks back to the very beginning, using a poetic approach grounded in scientific fact to give an overview of how the planet has changed over time: from hot lava to the formation of oceans to the evolution of living things in water and on land. The book also includes the relatively recent evolution of humans - who are just a tiny speck in the sweep of Earth's history. A striking design with show more full-spread, digitally enhanced watercolor art gives the book a rich, atmospheric feel."-- show lessTags

Beautiful pictures and almost poetically written this books is grounded in solid science. Looks at the beginnings of planet earth to humans evolution. Great book to examine the idea that most history is pre his story. Good for K-5th grade.
This book is a great tool to use as a tool to determine importance. Students may be able to identify important facts from the reading as well as the illustrations.
