is the earth full of soil ?

my Grandad, we called him Granpops, bought me this book for my 7th birthday. my mum says i probably asked him questions about the world. they were probably questions like 'is the earth full of soil ?' or 'where did animals come from ?' or maybe i asked him how Noah got all those animals on to the ark !

the book is specially for children who are 7 - 10 years old. its got chapters about how the earth began, about fossils and about how life began in the sea

then its got chapters about the move on to land, reptiles, birds, mammals and from ape to man

there is a chapter about Charles Darwin, it really is a brilliant book, and its great to have something my Granpops gave me all those years ago !
