As a young boy, Charles Darwin hated school and was often
scolded forconducting "useless" experiments. Yet his passion for
the natural world was so strong that he suffered through terrible
seasickness during his five-year voyage aboard The Beagle. Darwin
collected new creatures from the coasts of Africa, South America,
and the Galapagos Islands, and expanded his groundbreaking ideas
that would change people''s understanding of the natural world.
About 100 illustrations and a clear, exciting text will make Darwin
and his theory of evolution an exciting discovery for every young
reader.
