Books with author Corina Fletcher

This whimsically illustrated pop-up book introduces younger children to a very important subject: science. Eleven imaginative, full-color pop-up spreads tell kids the story of how all physical reality came into existence, starting at the beginning of time with what scientists call the Big Bang--a cosmic explosion that got the universe started. Illustrations and easy text that follows portray the formation of the solar system and the gradual changes on the planet Earth that made it hospitable to life forms. Succeeding illustrations show the evolution of sea creatures, dinosaurs, and other prehistoric animals, culminating with the origin and development of human beings. Kids will be fascinated by the ingenious pop-up illustrations as they discover the story of literally everything that exists.
