Voyages Through Time: The Beginning by Peter Ackroyd is a perfect book to explain the begining of earth (scientifically) to grades 7 and up. It starts with the Big Bang theory, and goes to talking about how humans got to earth. There are many scientific and technical terms used, but is easy to understand because of the layout. Though it is almost strictly scientific, the other theories of life are briefly mentioned. I feel like that is the only thing that could cause controversy with the book. There could be parents that want their children to believe in the religious way of the beginning of life, and some that strictly do believe in the scientific beginning of life.
The illustrations are amazing. I felt like I was looking at real, clean and good quality photos. The dinosaur on the cover really scared me!
