(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jason Ford. Earth narrates its life story (framed as the transcript of an audio interview), from the Big Bang to the present day. Lund writes in a chatty style, "as the universe grew, it cooled down, and stuff started to form." At almost two hundred pages, this heavily illustrated book includes a great deal of information; sidebars and color-coding help keep track of the passage of time and changes to Earth and its inhabitants. In the final sections, Earth calls on readers to take steps to help the planet and to protect its diversity of life. Back matter includes a pronunciation guide, list of further resources, and an index (unseen).
