In this nonfiction graphic novel, Miss Lernin and Ronnie time warp back to the Cambrian Period where life began. Ronnie gets to see what prehistoric ocean animals looked like and how they evolved into land dwelling dinosaurs. Miss Lenin talks about the major animal groups, primitive sponges to advanced vertebrates, and the characteristics that make each group unique.
This book is more of an informative book than a novel. The dialogue consists almost exclusively of scientific information rather than true conversation. It can get tedious at times, especially with all the scientific words. It reads like a teacher delivering a lecture.
