Earth! My first 4.54 Billion Years is an adorable SF and RA about Earth and how it was formed, the cycles it went through, etc. The author Stacy McAnulty and the illustration was by David Litchfield. The author wrote the book in a child friendly way that it would be easy for a child to read. This book has not won award yet but I think it will win an award soon!

carolinem The site that is provided is a wonderful resource by the publisher that provides resources and activities for educators to go along with this book. The UDL principle that goes along with this book is 3.2 which is highlighting patterns,critical features, big ideas, and relationships since the book covers the multiple relationships that Earth has with the solar system, humans, animals, etc. ESOL strategy 5 goes along with this book. 5y
carolinem which is teach technical vocabulary supporting key concepts since the book has many key terms that students may not know. 5y
DrSpalding This is the perfect read aloud for Earth Day! It is always wise to teach discipline specific vocabulary as you noted above. Well done. 5y

In the non-fiction picture book by Stacy Mcanulty you learn about our beautiful planet, planet Earth and what it has been up to the last 4.54 billion. The book is a good read aloud book and can be discoed during the science block of the school day or even on Earth Day to promote awareness. The UDL principle is 3.2 and the ESOL STRATEGY is 4. Link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge.

DrSpalding Science/social studies/English language arts… Great book selection. More detail needed. 6y

I love how this book incorporates geography, astronomy, history, and more in a fun and silly way. It‘s full of important facts about the earth, and the illustrations promote diversity. It also includes lots of non-fiction text features and would be appropriate for all primary and secondary grade levels. 🌎🌍🌏

DrSpalding I love that you are still posting! Proud of you. This looks great! 7y

This book effectively delivers what it promises: a recap of the first 4.5 billion years. In short snippets the author entertains and teaches you about earth's history. It's memorable and engaging to multiple ages in our home--we thoroughly enjoyed it!
