Life on Earth
Stephen Holmes. Barron's Educational Series, $9.95 (12pp) ISBN 978-0-7641-5456-0
Stephen Holmes condenses human evolution into a dozen pages in the paper-over-board Life on Earth, with paper engineering by Jonathan Lambert. In the opening spread, ""The very first living things came from the sea,"" a gatefold opens to reveal a prehistoric fish whose giant mouth pops up from the center. The format repeats throughout, introducing life on land, dinosaurs and, finally, a hairy caveman (whose gatefold reveals a cute baby).
