3.0

A great introductory biography about Charles Darwin, this book details the fateful 5 year voyage of the HMS Beagle and Charles Darwin's many discoveries. The information in this book was great, I especially loved the Fun Facts and all of the information in the back. But I thought the illustration style at times was a little too cartoonish, especially in regards to some of the animals in the book. I would recommend this book for 3rd graders.

Gorgeous illustrations interesting story historical account of Charles Darwin. Very brief mention of his theory of adaption/evolution/transmutation (all the names are given in the text). Also an explanation of a scientific "theory". Excellent introduction to natural history before there was a science of biology. Excellent way to introduce an interest in South America.
