An accessible and spectacularly illustrated introduction to the theory of evolution, from Charles Darwin to modern-day science.

The best damn evolution book for kids, period.  â€” Michael Shermer  I am just so delighted with this book! Loxton hits the key concepts perfectly, and without being stuffy about it. A wonderful book to donate to your local library.  â€” Eugenie Scott (Executive Director, National Center for Science Education)  

The best overview of evolution for children of which I’m aware. … Beautifully illustrated and elegantly written…my 6-yr-old kept stealing it and carrying it around the house to study.  â€” Wired GeekDad  

I think this book is absolutely terrific … I would’ve loved this book when I was a kid. It would have made me want to be a scientist.  â€” Phil Plait (Bad Astronomy)  

A major achievement in science communication.  â€” The Skeptic magazine (Australia)  

I recommend it highly … order a copy fast for the kids in your life!  â€” P.Z. Myers (Pharyngula)

Description from The Skeptic

CAN SOMETHING AS COMPLEX AND WONDROUS as the natural world be explained by a simple theory? The answer is yes, and now Evolution explains how in a way that makes it easy to understand.  Based on acclaimed articles from Junior Skeptic (Skeptic magazine’s science insert for kids) Evolution is a gorgeous hardcover with dust jacket, packed throughout with dazzling full-color art.  This spectacularly illustrated introduction to the theory of evolution takes us from Charles Darwin to modern-day science. Along the way, Evolution answers common questions (and clears up misunderstandings) that sometimes confuse people about the history of life on Earth. Recommended for children ages 8–13 written by Daniel Loxton illustrated by Daniel Loxton with Jim W.W. Smith
