Description

My First Book of Evolution uses fascinating bite-size facts, clear and simple explanations and attractive and absorbing illustrations to illuminate the mysteries of evolution.

When did life first appear on Earth? How did humans evolve? How did giraffe's necks get longer? Are humans now perfectly designed?

My First Book of Evolution answers these and many more questions about evolution and how it works in a fun and entertaining way.

Simple concepts such as what is a family tree, what is a species, what is a cell and more complex ideas of natural selection, adaptation, speciation and the inheritance of traits are explained clearly using imaginative and appealing charts, graphics and illustrations accompanied by simple, bite-size nuggets of explanatory text.

Critical Reviews

"...packed with information about evolution, with vibrant graphics, diagrams and helpful layouts to make it digestible for young readers."

Just Imagine https: //justimagine.co.uk/childrens-books-review/my-first-book-of-evolution/
"...each page is well designed and thought out. Diagrams are clear and the illustrations help the reader to understand what the text is explaining...For those children with an interest in this subject you won't find another book that goes into this level of detail for this age group."


"Eduard Altarriba's illustrations are gorgeous and their vibrant graphic style, plenty of diagrams, and helpful layouts help to make the material more digestible. Sheddad Kaid-Salah Ferron and Altarriba take the reader through Darwin's original theory and then look at how evolution has been influenced by human intervention..."

"With the authors familiar flair for science communication, comes a celebration of life on Earth and how this has adapted and evolved over time. Far from being an ode to dinosaurs (although of course they get a nod), this delves into the depths of biology. Expect to find cell anatomy, explanation of the process behind genetic inheritance and genetic mutation, as well as the consequences of these."

"A brilliant introduction into how evolution works with a range of eye catching graphics and visuals."


Red Reading Hub blog review https: //redreadinghub.blog/2024/10/29/my-first-book-of-evolution/

"Exciting and accessible, this is a great starter book for budding scientists at home or school, as well as adults who may not have learned about the topic previously."


Happy Families blog review https: //happyfamilies.biz/my-first-book-of-evolution/

"The graphics are excellent and the colour coding subtle but helpful...Although under 50 pages this hardback pulls a lot in and is definitively worth the investment and may get some enquiring minds interested in biology."
