Earth and Sky Every Child Should Know Easy studies of the earth and the stars for any time and place

"Earth and Sky Every Child Should Know" by Julia Ellen Rogers is an educational exploration crafted for young minds, offering an early 20th-century view of earth science and astronomy. The book acts as a guide, unveiling the wonders of our planet through geology, meteorology, and environmental science, using lively descriptions and illustrations to ignite curiosity in its readers. Rogers opens the book likening Earth's crust to an ancient burial ground where rocks, the tombstones, reveal life's history, explaining how sedimentary layers preserve the story of old creatures and the Earth's evolution. The book highlights Earth's features - mountains, rivers, and their roles in nature - all meant to inspire children to ponder the world that surrounds them.
