Our Family Tree (Hardcover) $28.45 This picture book is a scientifically accurate account of evolution, starting from one-celled life and moving forward through fish, lizards, and apes to today`s human being. The first-person narrative approach is especially child-friendly: "On the outside, we looked like hairy lizards. We hunted all day and had sharp teeth to tear our food. On the inside, our blood ran warm, almost as warm as it does today." Changes to the planet in the forms of continental shifts, an asteroid strike, and volcanoes play their roles. An explanatory afterword and a timeline are included. Laura Stringer`s dramatic full-color acrylic paintings bring the science to life. |
