I borrowed this book from Ryo, and as I told him, if I had had this book as a kid, I might be a scientist today. Very accessible and a super great resource for visual learners

150 fun, informative pages on how life evolved.
It gets most of the science right, plus I learned some new things — like pithier concept handles for the Phanerozoic periods.
Full of science puns & funny character interactions.
And just quick. Can't beat 150 pages.

This is a great way to learn about the science of evolution in a fun and chilled way. The writing and illustration is incredible and brings to life how life came to be. This is a great read for anyone above age 10 and for those who weren't taught science in school it's a great way to catch up. Highly recommend.

I know that evolution is not an easy topic, but I just didn't really enjoy the fictional characters explaining the process of evolution in this book. It was alright, but a little boring honestly.

Great for high school or college classes studying evolution, but also good for lay readers who just want to know more. The narrative structure of aliens on another planet visiting a museum to learn about the evolution of life on Earth allows for organic review and humor within the text. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an overview of evolution, adaptation, natural selection, mutation, and/or species variation.

Read this as a possible resource in how I teach evolution and diversity of life, so the content wasn't anything new. It covers a lot of the classic and important concepts and time points in history. Definitely a good intro to evolution, but only an intro.
