A beautiful little book spanning the whole of evolution in just a few gorgeously drawn pages.

This one's one of my standout favorites. Author Ian Lendler and illustrators Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb drill down the history of everything to one humble dot. From one dot's excited burst of joy comes the Big Bang, bringing new dots together to form planets and, eventually, life. The dots are animated, dancing, playing, even running away from other dots that want to eat them! The artwork is bright with a retro feel and uses the dot theme as a focal point through the story, gently leading readers on a trip through time and space. It's a simplified look at the formation of the universe, but works nicely for younger readers. Give this one to kids who like Stacy McAnulty's Earth: My First 4.5 Billion Years, and Dominic Walliman's Professor Astro Cat books, published by Nobrow.

A terrific pictorial study of evolution told in the most child-friendly way I have seen yet. Check it out!

What a wonderful way to break down the big bang theory and evolution for children. It is a little simplistic but again, directed at kids. Will be holding onto this so my STEM obsessed daughter can read it.

5yo is enjoying this simple introduction to evolution and the history of the universe. Accessible descriptions for this age group and the illustrations are fun, too

This is a VERY basic, vague introduction to the Big Bang and evolution and it is told in a way that is almost frustrating for kids who have learned more because it leaves out so much. But it isn't trying to be highly informational, so for what it is worth it is fine, just not a book I would pick up again.
