Reviews

“From cover to cover, this book educates readers in an exciting and at times humorous manner. Readers are invited to meet Vikings, dinosaurs, T-rex, giant rats, and Romans, to travel to Egypt or into outer space, to explore plastic islands, to easily travel thousands of years into the past or the future – and much more.”
