Do you know when the first transactlantic cable was laid? Nope, neither did I. How about when the first airmail was sent. Nope, I hadn't a clue. (Remember when sending airmail had a different stamp?) How about the first radio station?
It is amazing, reading this book, which is supposed to be a "solve the mystery" book, is really more of a "find how people used to communicate" book. We learn about the rosetta stone, and where "lead" pencils came from. (The Lake District) and when Guttenberg first used the printing press.
Each double spread talks about what major new communication had been invented, and when. Then you can lift the flaps to read more details.
Probably, as someone said, for older readers, as there is a lot of information, and a lot of text, behind each flap.
A fun resource to have in a classroom or library.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

If you have kids who are interested in history and sciences, then you have to check this book out! It was fabulous! We had so much going page by page, and discovering new facts! The illustrations are amazing.
This is one book I think that we could go back to again and again, and find something new each time!

Travel back to the year 1927 on board the Voyage of Discovery and explore and learn from some of the greatest minds in history.
I loved reading this book and adored the little pieces of history from the greatest inventions ever made, the progression of science and writing, and geography.
The only critique for me to be unable to see what was under the flaps as it was an e-version.
I highly recommend this one to both kids and adults. You will all be entertained.

This is a beautiful and educational flip book for children to learn about significant innovations throughout modern history as well as solving a mystery along the way. The language does not diminish the sophistication of the technology at the time yet is still clearly understandable by the correct age range. The illustrations in the book are vivid and eye-catching, this is the perfect book to either read with a child or allow a child to explore themselves.
