A brilliant introduction into how evolution works with a range of eye catching graphics and visuals. * @father_teacher_reader * 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. * Red Reading Hub * Showing more originality and wit than is common in graphic non-fiction illustrations. * Nicolette Jones (Sunday Times Children's Books editor) * The graphics are excellent and the colour coding subtle but helpful and this is the work of Altarriba which shows just why he won an award for his work on My first book of Quantum Physics. 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. * Happy Families blog *
