Description

This inventive picture book relays the events of 2 hundred years from the unique standpoint of a magnificent oak tree, showing how much the world can turn into from a single vantage point. From 1775 to the current day, this fascinating framing device lets readers watch as human and animal populations shift and the landscape transitions from country to city. Methods of transportation, communication and energy use progress unexpectedly even as other things hardly seem to change at all.
 
This engaging, eye-opening window into history is absolute best for budding historians and nature enthusiasts alike, and the time-lapse quality of the detail-packed illustrations will draw readers in as they pore over each and every spread to spot the changes that include each and every new era. A fact-filled poster is included so as to add to the fun.
