A Great Book to Educate Your Children With!

I've long admired David Brower. And Aleks Petrovitch has done a great job illustrating this book and bringing David's thoughts to our next generation of environmentalists.This is a good way to educate a child you know about the environment and why it is important. I highly recommend it. Harry S. Pariser Publisher, Manatee Press

A good book for everyone aged 4 on up!

This book gives children who are beginning to understand minutes, hours and days a good idea of the enormity of time. The drama of the story is captured in drawings of intense colors and engaging images. Each page allows focus on one idea, which is clearer, for younger children. The interactions between David and the kids, and the kid's reactions, are good. The main idea -wildness has wisdom- is well emphasized: even the mysteries e.g. how life began. The additional information at the end is a good reference for older children. Also, places to help the planet is useful.

Science for kids

Aleks Petrovitch has done a wonderful job depicting early earth and portraying the evolution of life in a context easily understood by kids. By using an imaginitive story line with beautifull illustrations, this book is a must for parents wishing to provide initial insight into conservation, protecting our beaches and general history of our earth! Aleks has also provided a more in depth analysis to each page of his book which help refresh our sciences allowing each story reader to emphasize particular points and aide in explanation! Well Done!

beautifully illustrated, great for kids and adults alike

This book is an excellent example of a children's book format which can appeal to the gamut of age spans. The illustrations are remarkable, as is the story line itself. If you have children or wish you were a child (again) this book is an invaluable addition to your library. I recommend it to anyone who holds in their heart a place for special things.
