Description
From the moment life crawled out of the oceans and onto land, to when our primate ancestors climbed down from the trees, the history of Planet Earth is filled with incredible stories. This beautifully illustrated guide explores some of the most exciting and incredible events in evolution, through 13 case studies.
Step back in time and discover a world where whales once walked, crocodiles were warm-blooded, and snakes had legs! Meet terrifying giant birds, and tiny elephants living on islands in this fascinating creature guide like no other. Learn how whales once walked on four legs before taking to the oceans; how dinosaurs evolved into birds; and how the first cats were small and lived in trees.
Featuring a stunning mix of annotated illustrations, illustrated scenes, and family trees, evolution is explained here in a captivating and novel style that will make children look at animals in a whole new way.
Marketing Plan
Focus: Pitch news, press, media on origin and evolution tie in – some just content pitched.
Evolution is a hot topic and is unlikely to cool off. We will watch the news cycle for fights and decisions about it and, tactfully, pitch media who are receptive to this title's message.
Highlight stories about the animals mentioned in the book: whales, cats, crocodiles, rhinos, etc.
Pitch towns and areas where whales are a local attraction. This may include The Whale Museum in Friday Harbor, WA (near Seattle); Boston, MA; Alaska; Newport Beach, CA; San Diego, CA; KEy West, FL; Tampa Bay, FL; Fort Myers Beach, FL; Clearwater, FL.
