It is rare to find a book that all three of my boys can enjoy together. With such varied interests, I long for something captivating (and non-electronic) that has the ability to sustain their attention long enough for me to take a shower.

DK Publishing has answered my prayers. A Street Through Time is a beautiful book, and educational to boot. The premise is simple; each page follows the same street through thousands of years of history using hyper-detailed illustrations. The book begins with stone age hunters, and each page that you flip takes you to another era in history.

The coolest part is explaining to your children that the street you live on is constantly changing, too. Throw in some Google Maps and you can really rock their worlds.  All while gaining precious extra minutes of shower time for me. -Eva
