Susan E. Goodman. Greenwillow Books, $17.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-688-16913-8

New titles examine different aspects of history and progress. Readers travel back over 500 million years in On This Spot: An Expedition Back Through Time by Susan Goodman, illus. by Lee Christiansen. Beginning on the streets of modern Manhattan, the book takes readers through the island's history, first a few centuries at a time, then across million-year leaps through the Ice Age and the dinosaurs' reign, to a time before sentient life existed. Full-bleed pastel spreads chart the significant changes in habitation and landscape across the millennia.
