{Review} Big Book of Earth and Sky by Master Books
Master Books publishes some of our absolute favorite creation science and homeschooling resources. The kids and I were delighted to receive a copy of the Big Book of Earth and Sky to review.
When a package arrives at our house, it is always a time of celebration. The kids jump and squeal when the delivery person knocks on the door. I love to see the look on the delivery person's face when they are greeted by three gleeful kids answering the door who are jumping around in a spontaneous happy dance.
The Big Book of Earth and Sky really wowed the kids (and me!) when I pulled the resource out of the package. Inside of the hardcover case was a 15-foot 21 panel fold-out of the earth and sky from the inner core to the atmosphere. The kids gasped with excitement and unfolded it across the family room floor. They burst out in giggles as the panels unfolded. I loved to hear their ooh's and ahh's of excitement over the trivia facts they discovered as they explored each level.
It is 15-feet long! The bright colors and gorgeous graphics are so inviting.
The kids loved exploring each panel and learning all about the earth and the sky.
This resource covers:
- Earth Science
- Speleology
- Oceanography
- Meteorology
- Paleontology
There is so much to explore on each colorful panel! This is such a unique and dynamic resource.
You can mount this beautiful resource on your wall or you can conveniently fold it up and store it inside of the hardcover case.
Even though it is 15-feet long, it is simple to use on a table. It unfolds panel-by-panel and you can explore specific sections.
