by Peter Sis
A highly visual biography of Darwin and his ideas, created by Caldecott honoree Peter Sis. Although there are blocks of text on each page, much of the information is conveyed in Sis's stunning, intricate illustrations.
Note: this is not a read-aloud, as the pages require up-close viewing. Put this one in your home or class library, as your kids really must see inside this "fabulous, visually exciting introduction to the man, his ideas, and...the natural world." (School Library Journal)
