Earth Clock, an illustrated book on the history of the planet

“It’s criminal how cheap this is”, I said when I was checking out. I was a Mojo Vinyl (no relation) looking through some albums when I found the debut, eponymous album from The Producers. I couldn’t believe it was only $5, not that I wanted to pay more. However, it’s always worth talking to the record store employees so that they know what you’re looking for. Speaking of criminal behavior, I can’t believe that Earth Clock: The History of Our Planet in 24 Hours is only $8.23 on Amazon. Also, it says that it was released in 2022? What book vortex was I engulfed in to miss this one?

Earth Clock is the engaging STEM book that counts down a timeline of our planet that you didn’t know your library needed.
You know what time it is

North Pole/South Pole:A Flip Book that delivers in content and presentation

Book design is an under-appreciated art. And to be fair, books, especially illustrated books, work just fine the way that the vast majority of them are laid out. It’s only when a book comes along that shatters the established mold that you realize how efficiently, and creatively a book can become. North Pole/South Pole: Pole to Pole: A Flip Book is one of those books. The key to its fun is in the flipbook, phrase. If the book weren’t accompanied with illustrations that are on point and text that’s informative and to the point, then that phrase could also have been a cheesy gimmick.

The result is an engaging illustrated book that utilizes every square inch of every page with its text and illustrations. Moreover, it’s a non-fiction book that loosely tells a story and concisely wraps it all up. The twist that makes the book unique is also head numbingly simple, yet could also be difficult to pair up with the yin to its yang.

North Pole/South Pole: Pole To Pole: A Flip Book that entertains, educates and has the potential to amaze readers aged 8 and up.
