'Curiositree: Human World: A visual history of Mankind by A.J. Wood and Mike Jolley with illustrations by Andres Lozano is a nonfiction book with a unique approach to learning.

The history of humans is told over 60 charts with titles like Human Beginnings and A Brief History of Jewelry. The information on each chart gives a lot of information and is threaded by color codes on the sides of the pages. These allow the reader to follow different chronologies, like technology or farming.

I had a nice time poring through this book. There is an incredible amount of information scattered over these 100 plus pages. The art is a great infographic style and I really liked it.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

A very interesting and informative book about human history. Beautiful, bright and colorful, this book is filled with bits of information from migrations and inventions, culture and religion, to war and modern technology, this book has it all. I love the use of artwork, timelines and charts to visually explain the concepts. This book would make a fantastic addition to any home or school library.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions for an advanced copy of this book.
