(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lee Christiansen. Goodman fixes on a spot in New York City to conceptualize time. Each double-page spread presents one point in time ("15,000 years ago"), from the present through the age of dinosaurs, the Ice Age, the age of volcanoes, and more. This device works well, aided by careful art covering subjects as varied as the Lenape Indians and glaciers. A timeline is appended.
