The Adventure of Life by Jean-Benoit Durand

Page 50, under Giving Life, there is a picture of a male and a female bear, in underwear, holding hands, with love hearts around them and a bed with a heart shaped frame in the background. I find this very weird. Has anyone else read this, do you find the picture weird too? The text is kind of awkward too. I've only looked at the section on sexual reproduction - I hadn't realised it would be in the book (I thought it was more about the evolution of the Earth) and I got completely distracted by the oddness of this picture.

I thought I would have a read of this new book on our school library shelf in order to review it for staff. A super quick but easy overview of life from The Big Bang through to modern day, The Adventure of Life covers evolution, the environment and the life cycle in a way perfect for younger (but not too young!) minds.
