Lets just put it out there, this is a book about evolution. It is simple and easy to understand. It goes from the birth of the earth until today. While the story is readable for bedtime, for those more curious it includes a glossary, and a more detailed timeline in the back. But the best thing about this book are the illustrations. It doesn’t matter if they are dark and violent, or bright and cheery, they are the cherry on the top of this read. I would hand any and all on the walls of my house.
