Critic Reviews

This is a truly fascinating book and definitely a must-have for anyone who is learning about evolution & inheritance at school (or who just loves really interesting, well-produced information books!) […] The illustrations themselves are detailed and beautiful enough to be hung on the wall as prints. There’s lots for readers to soak up and marvel at. Library Girl and Book Boy
