Very good introduction to Darwin
This is a very good to excellent introduction to Darwin and evolution for children. It is very good at explaining what selection is and how it works. My 7 year old got a lot out of it.

Happy to add this to our home library
This book is beautifully illustrated and a perfectly scaled back presentation of Darwin's theory. We used it in a homschool unit study with my 6 and 8 year old but I can see going back to this year after year.

Informative, great explanation of difficult concepts, wonderfully illustrated.
Love this book! My 8 year old was intrigued, a bit advanced for the 5 year old but he liked the pictures and I think a few readings through and he’ll grasp the concepts. Beautiful illustrations. The direct quotes from Darwin are difficult for sure but I like the authenticity they lend.

It does not explain natural selection
The art is amazing and the text is well-crafted, pleasurable to read, but there is no or almost no references to mutations so the explanation of natural selection is lacking.

Great book!
Purchased for my almost 5 year old who is interested in evolution. It's a great book - far exceeded my expectations. Instead of a child-friendly version of the Origin of Species, this book follows Darwin's studies and how the Origin of Species came to be. Lots of information, but presented as part of the story.
