Christopher Lloyd’s Absolutely Everything!: A History of Earth, Dinosaurs, Rulers, Robots, and Other Things Too Numerous to Mention was published in 2018. However, the wonderful audiobook was recently released. Christopher Lloyd narrates his own book, and the audio storytelling of this rather large book is wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the history of some many things I have heard of in the past, but never realized the timeline in which the events occurred. Lloyd presented a moment in history and then told other events going on in various parts of the world occurring at the same time. I was especially intrigued by the way Lloyd compared the creation of the Earth to a clock and what a huge amount of time occurred prior to humans roaming our planet.
I highly recommend this audiobook for middle school readers through adults. I have seen a portion of the book via Amazon preview and believe the illustrations would be an excellent resource, but the size of the book and text might be daunting to younger readers.
*To comply with guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission, the publisher has provided a complimentary copy of the audiobook of Absolutely Everything!: A History of Earth, Dinosaurs, Rulers, Robots, and Other Things Too Numerous to Mention (Spotlight Audio) for review purposes. This review is my opinion and is in no way influenced by the author or publisher.
