A non-fiction book for all ages is the Update of the 1962 book, LIFE STORY by Virginia Lee Burton (Houghton Mifflin, 1962, copyright renewed 1990, 2009. $22.00). For almost a half century this book has been informing and amazing readers of all ages, Ms Burton in a very direct almost simplistic style explains the history of planet earth.
Ms Burton unfolds her story as a drama in Five Acts. Each act builds on the information presented in the prior Acts thus making the learning come in bite-size pieces more easily understood.
The information must be accurate, or I do not believe this volume would have survived all these years. I know I found reading it interesting and informative. I can see the young non-fiction fan getting lost in the various Act and Ages.
