CURIOSITREE: HUMAN WORLD
appears to be a colorful visual look at the journey of humans through time. Apparently, formatting issues prevent my getting a full picture. Still awarding a 4/5 for the beautiful illustrations.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are fully mine.

This is such a cool book! The colorful graphs and beautiful pictures make learning about the past even more fun. My kids are insatiable learners, and love to learn facts and gain knowledge. Human World allows them to do that regarding so many different subjects on humans and our world. This small little book holds a great deal of knowledge just waiting to be shared with kids who love to learn. Human World would make a great book for a home school library or would be great for any kid who loves to learn about the world around them.

The book can be used with children from 9 to 11 years old to teach them about the World History. The book contains colorful illustrations accompanied by explanations. The book goes from a human beginning to the modern era. Also, a section of how to use the book is included. I liked the way the book is divided by section with additional pages where the historical techniques and instruments are explained like the origin of Money, the evolution of Pottery and more. Excellent book!

"Curiositree: Human World" is a great book to introduce young readers about the revolution of human, from the ancient time to now. From the point of view of science and evolution, cultural, civilizations and inventions, this compact reference provides succinct explanations to readers about the history of human. For adults who grew up hating history and probably have forgotten most of the stuff they have learned in school, "Curiositree: Human World" would be a great choice for a quick review.

The design of the book is in chart form hence readers could pick whatever topics interested them without feeling pressure to start reading from the beginning. Colorful graphics and rich text make this reference book a must-have. The amount of information could be too overwhelming for younger readers so I would say it's for middle school kids who enjoy history.

The author definitely did an amazing job to put together thousand years of human history across different cultures together. It's a book full of useful information that resembles an encyclopedia about human history but not as dry as reading one. Academic, yes, but not as heavy and dull. "Curiositree: Human World" is definitely a quality book for curious young minds.

A very interesting and informative book about human history. Beautiful, bright and colorful, this book is filled with bits of information from migrations and inventions, culture and religion, to war and modern technology, this book has it all. I love the use of artwork, timelines and charts to visually explain the concepts. This book would make a fantastic addition to any home or school library.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions for an advanced copy of this book.
