Thomas presents a very clear and informative book demonstrating how some animals have affected the Earth's development and our history. The author links a variety of animals to historical events; for example, sheep are linked to the Industrial Revolution. The author goes back in time. Depending on the animal the explanation may go back to the caveman. Everyday expressions are also explained, such as pigeonholed, mad as a hatter and counting sheep. The colorful pages and layouts enhance the text and provide more information. There is a timeline demonstrating evolution and historical events of animals.
