The Man Who Made Time Travel (Orbis Pictus Honor for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children (Awards)) 1 review
Kathryn Lasky
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2003
A 6th Grader's Review of The Man Who Made Time Travel
It was a good book, but I have read better books and worst books. It made me want to go to London to see the clocks that John Harrisson made.
I would recommend it for people who want to know about history but don't like reading long books.

Lisa Westberg Peters
Greenwillow, 2003
What a book!
I am SO impressed with this book. Each poem looks at geology (yes, geology) in a slightly different way and evokes a different perspective on tales that can be millions of years old. Peters' inventive word play depicts the movement of glaciers ... she dares them to get a speeding ticket. In ...
