What Mr Darwin Saw

The inviting illustrations and manageable blocks of text will attract a wide range of readers. || A beautiful gift for any KS2 child who is curious about natural history. Because of the careful balancing of differing points of view, the book could also be effectively used to introduce the work of Darwin to a KS2 class as part of a science curriculum. || Book of the Month: Cleverly mixes cartoon style graphics with factual text. || Well-illustrated, a collection of scenes that you can imagine Darwin recalling in later life. In fact, you can almost see it as what the contents of Darwin's photoalbum would have been like had his life been recorded in photographs... This is a book that will work superbly well as a teaching aid. || Royal Society Young People's Book Prize: The story offers insight into his amazing understanding of evolution developed through a life in contact with nature - and in doing so leaves a feeling that we, too, might conceive of grand things someday. || A clever book that captured my and the kids' imagination. Mich Manning and Brita Granstro m should be congratulated.
