The first ever picture-book retelling of Charles Darwin's On The Origin of Species.

'A long, long time ago, before humans even existed, the living world looked very different from how it looks today.'

For most of human history, people believed that everything in the world was created at once. But scientists started to challenge that idea and in 1859 Charles Darwin, a naturalist and biologist, wrote a famous book called On the Origin of Species that revolutionised the way that we have understood evolution ever since.

Now molecular biologist and illustrator Sabina Radeva has recreated Darwin's most famous work as a beautifully illustrated book for children and adults alike. The stunning pictures bring the theory of evolution to life for young readers, and anyone who wants to learn about evolution.

Pulling together Darwin's observations from his travels around the world and his ground-breaking explanation of how species form, develop, and change over hundreds of thousands of years, On The Origin of Species is as relevant and important now as it ever was.

A very important project, most beautifully realised. Sabina Radeva's thoughtful text and gorgeous pictures together tell the story of On The Origin of Species, and of Evolution itself, with clarity, humour and great charm. - Emma Darwin

An entrancing picture-book retelling of Darwin's on the Origin of Species ... filled with informative, beautifully designed diagrams and maps. - The Guardian

An entrancing picture-book retelling of Darwin's on the Origin of Species ... filled with informative, beautifully designed diagrams and maps. ― The Guardian

A great introduction to one of the most important books ever written. ― RTE Guide

Evolution explained, in this strikingly accessible picture book...perfect for a younger audience ― Picture Book Blogger

Sabina Radeva's book is a wonderful introduction to Charles Darwin's ideas. It will appeal to children, but also, by its deft handling of a number of common misconceptions, may well surprise many adults. She has not shied away from either historical language or scientific ideas and handles both with great charm and without oversimplification. -- Alison M. Pearn, Associate Director ― Darwin Correspondence Project --This text refers to the paperback edition.

This is a great work. The art and aesthetic is informative and detailed. To visualize Origin of Species in this way is a marvellous task. Early introduction to children about these issues might help their mind grow larger. It is a must have for a children's library.
The book arrived in beautifully perfect condition and packaging. It delighted me and satisfied me with my experience.
I always look forward to such loving care from sellers- something so rare here.

Fantastic book for kids of any age.

I cannot praise this book highly enough. It is everything that I look for in a children's book. Beautifully illustrated and well thought out, it carefully and simply explains Darwin's theory without every dumbing down. The illustrations and stylish, clear and very detailed - they will engage even the youngest child. The language is simple and there are no great big chunks of text - even less confident readers well be engaged by this. It covers the basic concepts and ideas of natural selection and will leave the reader with an enriched understanding of the world around them.
I am 42 years old and have a degree in veterinary medicine and I found this book fascinating and learnt a lot that I did not know, my 8 year old daughter feels the same way about it, reading it to herself in bed this week.

A book for and inquisitive child that is needed more than ever in our strange world.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for an animal mad 7 year old boy.
I thought it was important that in this mad world we live in, that a child should grow up knowing about how we all came about and the wonder of the world around us. This knowledge is under threat from people who want to turn back our understanding and narrow our minds.
This book is beautifully illustrated and explains so many parts of Darwin’s theory in ways that even this non-scientific adult can understand.
The book is probably about suitable for an 8 year old, but I gave it to a 7 year old who’s father is a biologist and he is able to take him through the book and explain things to the boy.
In my view you can’t start young enough teaching a child the important aspects of the world around us and how we all came about.
Lovely book, well worth buying for an inquisitive child.

Accessible book to grow with child

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 March 2019

Verified Purchase

My son is 6 and a little too young for this book but he still enjoys listening and looking at the pictures. It has inspired some interesting questions and conversations, particularly as it deals with concepts not yet handled at school in Year 1. The language is definitely aimed at 7+ at least but the images make it easy to reword and explore the concepts. He enjoys the book and I'm pleased I got it for him, even at 6, as it'll grow with him. As an adult, I'm enjoying it too as it's obviously interesting but also beautifully illustrated.

I loved the concept of the book however it's written in such a complicated way that it's difficult to make sense of, especially for children so i found myself having to rephrase every page to make it make sense to my 7 year old.
