| Summary/Abstract |
What is God? is an introduction to the ideas behind God and religion, and brings forward complex ideas in a way children will understand. It is written with clarity and is beautifully illustrated with just the right blend of seriousness and humor. It compares different religions -- Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism - and their holy books, looks at misunderstandings and arguments among people of different religions, and talks about praying as well as feeling connected to everything in the world. If you want to talk about spirituality with a child, or introduce them to philosophy or religion, or just help them to begin to center themselves and their feelings about the world, this book is a great beginning.

| Summary/Abstract |
Imagining what the Earth will be like in post-human periods 5, 100, and 200 million years from now, Pye bases her vision on the evolutionary development of common creatures. An introductory section presents information on contemporary climates, habitats, and animals as well as evolution. From here, giant leaps are made to the animals and habitats of the future. These speculations are presented in a factual manner with realistic illustrations depicting habitats, food preferences, and hidden dangers. Sidebars showing "Evolution in Action" describe the human-age ancestors of these future beings. An interesting and varied layout complete this highly readable work that will be useful for reports and enjoyed as recreational reading.
