Praise for Timeline
“Peter Goes’s stunning Timeline, with its ribbons of pitchblack winding through subtly-colored, deeply involving pages, perfectly lives up to Gecko Press’s avowed championing of work rich in language and illustration.”―The Guardian
“Hugely informative, hugely entertaining.”―The Financial Times
“An explosion of information in giant, annotated montages of imaginatively represented detail, from the Big Bang to Charlie Hebdo. Stylish, comical and serious, it deserves to be pored over.”―The Sunday Times, Best Books of the Year, 2015

Reviews
Gr 3-5-This large-format book examines the history of the world, starting with the big bang and continuing to the 2010s. Each spread covers a different time period, with renderings of the culturally or geologically significant aspects and a short paragraph of text. Exploration, including space, is also covered. Notes abound throughout the illustrations, explaining different facets and interjecting interesting facts. There is a Eurocentric focus, especially once more modern history is reviewed. The color palette is muted, and the cartoonlike illustrations are full of detail that will keep readers interested. VERDICT While the vast scope of this book makes it unsuitable for research use, it is the ideal text for reluctant readers, who will likely find tidbits that will spark curiosity and further investigation.-Ellen Norton, Naperville Public Library, Naperville, ILα(c) Copyright 2011.
