A very colorful book all about evolution. If you agree with that, then you will like this book.

I am a big fan of Chin's previous titles but this is definitely my favorite. It shows the life of a volcanic island, and gives a perfect explanation of natural selection for children with illustrated examples. The source materials are thorough and offer information about Darwin. Love this book!

Lovely drawings illustrated the formation of Galapagas Islands millions of years ago and the life that migrated to them. A simple explanation of how the animals on each island has evolved to survived each island's unique conditions. Beautifully done.

A well-written book about the birth of and eventual end of one of the Galapagos islands, taking place over millions of years. Not only an easy to read nonfiction book, but a great supplement to teaching animal adaptations.
