Perfect for my 6-8 year olds!
We used this for the joy and fun of learning about the wonderful process of evolution! This book was so accessable and easy to understand for my six and eight year old children! Lovely illustrations, but you should certainly supplement with real life images of animals and humans when you can to further their experience!

Smart & Funny
Wonderful book with fun pictures. Several people have commented that it is too light on theory and should contain more discussion of natural selection. I want to give a different point of view and say that I appreciate the approach and applaud the authors for keeping the language simple. This book is 40 pages (most children’s books for this age group are 32 pages). Everything is done with extreme economy. There is nothing that could have been cut out in order to make more room for a description of natural selection. In order to add more theory to the book they would have had to make it longer (publishers and parents both want short books), or they would have had to sacrifice the story. Highly recommend this book!

Age appropriate, fun evolution book
Our daughter is obsessed with this book. It is a great, age appropriate book describing evolution. My daughter is 5 and has been able to understand the concept thanks to this book. Answered lots of a questions and now a favorite for bedtimes in our house.

Just right for young minds
Lovely illustrations, good, simple and direct information for young minds to become introduced to scientific evidence. It does not cover everything, but is enough for my 4 and 5 year old grandchildren to ask more questions, wonder and learn about this very interesting topic of how life began on Earth. Very satisfied with purchase.

Good
A little confusing for 5 year old, but better for older kids.

Highly recommend
This book was well written and helped tremendously with explaining Evolution to my five-year-old. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an aid to help explain the story of planet Earth and the creatures that live here. The illustrations were beautiful as well.

Great book
We just received the book today and already read it. My 6yr old loved it and it was easy for him to follow. It doesn’t explain how the world began but starts a little after. I’d say it’s great for k-3rd graders, but does have large words so i wouldn’t recommend it for a read on your own book for those ages.

I bought this for our 7 year old as an introduction to the concept of how the earth evolved. She is interested in the topic but we have struggled to put things out there for her in a concise way that she can understand. We all love the illustrations and it really helps the reader visualize how much has changed over time. I would highly recommend to any kid around 5+.
