More About Era

Long ago, there were many eras. Each one had its own life. Some had big trees, and some had big animals. We learn about these times in books.

In our life, we can see how things change. Like how cars are now fast. But long ago, people walked or rode horses. This helps us know how we got here.

In the future, we will have new eras. They will have new things we can't see yet. But we can guess what they might be like!
