We receive many books to review and certain books are outstanding and highly recommended. This is one.



No doubt you've heard of Charles Darwin's revolutionary scientific book, Origin of the Species. This beautifully designed and illustrated book was written for children aged 7 - 11 by a former molecular biologist, now graphic artist/illustrator who was fascinated by  Charles Darwin's work. It is the first time that this story has been re-told specifically for this age group.

It explains in clear and easy to understand details of the origins of species with full page detailed illustrations to get children interested and exploring. We particularly noted the colours used are soft, muted and calming so as not to take attention away from the subject matter.

There is an appendix which explains natural selection, DNA and genes, inheritance, epigenetics, the tangled thicket of life, embryology and more. Readers an find out more about extinction, what sediment is, how species adapt and what they are.

Highly recommend buying this book.
