A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Jenkins presents a superb introduction to evolution for younger readers...[His] explainations of science concepts are comprehensive and comprehensible, making good use of his excellent illustrations." Horn Book, Starred

Jenkins’ trademark watercolor cut–paper collages, a large format, and the careful use of both an oversized and small font are definite lures into this handsome exploration of the basics of evolution.
School Library Journal, Starred

Clever, eye–catching, and extremely effective.
Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

Grabbing the audiences attention with stunning cut and torn paper collage illustrations, Jenkins illuminates another corner of the science world in this cogent introduction to evolution.

“Factual and fascinating, this one belongs in every library.” Kirkus Reviews
