Interesting.

And... kind of creepy, lol.

Some pages tell about things that happen in a second, or a minute, or an hour...

Some tell about things that happen very quickly... and some are things that happen over a long time.

There is an element of "preachy" to some of them-- population growth, destruction of habitats, etc-- and a few creepy ones-- this many people die, this many people are killed by sharks, this many people die of this, etc-- but overall this is one that kids will find fascinating.

Possibly especially boys.  Mister was certainly entertained.
