Description
This new picture book takes readers on a one-of-a-kind tour of the Bay Area. Every turn of the page ventures more and more back in time: from a mere 300 years ago, not long after the arrival of the first European explorers, to when Columbian mammoths lumbered about waterfall-ringed meadows (40,000 years ago); to when saber-toothed cats pounced on three-toed horses (10 million years ago); to when dinosaurs foraged for food on golden, sandy beaches (80 million years ago); and in the end to 400 million years ago, when lately’s San Francisco Bay used to be a watery realm dominated by peculiar invertebrates. Fun and fastidiously researched facts about Every era’s animals and plants beef up the entire-color spreads by A State of Change artist Laura Cunningham. After finishing The Bay Area through Time, readers of every age will wonder which form the bay will take next.
