Our Prehistoric Planet is such a fun and unique book! The accordion-fold format is unlike any other.  When fully opened, magnets connect and create a globe shape that can be placed on the desk or floor.  Gallion explores famous dinosaurs as well as early sea life, soaring pterosaurs, and the eventual rise of mammals.  

The artwork is vibrant and inviting.  The colors are modern and make the ancient world come to life. Gallion turns a science lesson into an adventure.  Each time a child unfolds this board book, there will be an "aha" moment where they realize just how big and ancient our world really is.  Our Prehistoric Planet: Dinosaurs and Other Creatures of the Past will be a perfect addition to any unit on dinosaurs.
