IMAGINE TAKING a trip through the history of everything from the beginning of the universe to the present day!

Readers can easily compare what was happening across the world at any given moment in time. The Wallbook also includes an easy-to-read chronicle which reports on more than 40 key moments from the timeline in the style of a newspaper. Also includes a page of letters to the editor, 50-question quiz and pocket magnifier. Perfect for 6-14 year olds but equally fascinating for all curious adults.
