Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be
CAN SOMETHING AS COMPLEX AND WONDROUS as the natural world be explained by a simple theory? The answer is yes, and now Evolution explains how in a way that makes it easy to understand.
Based on acclaimed articles from Junior Skeptic (Skeptic magazine’s science insert for kids) Evolution is a gorgeous hardcover with dust jacket, packed throughout with dazzling full-color art.
This spectacularly illustrated introduction to the theory of evolution takes us from Charles Darwin to modern-day science. Along the way, Evolution answers common questions (and clears up misunderstandings) that sometimes confuse people about the history of life on Earth.
Recommended for children ages 8–13
Written by Daniel Loxton; illustrated by Daniel Loxton with Jim W.W. Smith

Highly recommended. … This brief, comprehensive book on evolution is likely to engage and educate.
An in-depth guide to life’s history gives clear answers to kids’ questions about evolution.
I am just so delighted with this book! Loxton hits the key concepts perfectly, and without being stuffy about it. A wonderful book to donate to your local library.
The best overview of evolution for children of which I’m aware … Beautifully illustrated and elegantly written … my 6-yr-old kept stealing it and carrying it around the house to study.
The best damn evolution book for kids, period.
An excellent resource for both students and teachers. This book complies with the ideas set forth about evolution by the National Science Education Standards and fills a gap in books about evolution for this age group.
Loxton maintains a respectful tone indicative of an intent to enlighten rather than inflame … For parents or teachers of young adults, Loxton’s book provides a wonderful resource for addressing a complex and politically charged subject.
I think this book is absolutely terrific … I would’ve loved this book when I was a kid. It would have made me want to be a scientist.
A wonderfully clear, up-to-date, and well-illustrated account of how evolution works. The scientific content is first-rate.
A full-throated defense and explication of Darwin’s theory … kept light and accessible by Loxton’s sense of humour and breezy prose style.
Explains the facts simply without distorting the science for the young reader.
I recommend it highly … order a copy fast for the kids in your life!
A major achievement in science communication.
