Children can be taught basic natural selection using a picture-storybook intervention. Kelemen, D., Emmons, N.A., Seston Schillaci, R. & Ganea, P. (2014).
A delightful way of telling one of the greatest stories ever told, evolution by natural selection, and a lovely contribution to the pressing challenge of enhancing scientific literacy at all ages. Steven Pinker, author, How the Mind Works
Research shows that this brilliant book can help even young children understand evolution by natural selection. Teaching children about evolution when they're young ensures that they'll really 'get it' when they're older. Nothing in science education could possibly be more important than helping children to understand the ideas at the heart of all of biology. Alison Gopnik, author, The Scientist in the Crib
This is a gem. Beautifully illustrated and written with clarity and grace, this picture book is the perfect introduction to the idea at the core of modern biologynatural selection. A 'must have' for any parent or teacher interested in truly nurturing the scientific curiosity of young children. Paul Bloom, author, Just Babies and Descartes' Baby
The underlying science is sound and presented in a thoroughly 'kid friendly' picture book format, making it an ideal and highly recommended addition to family, elementary school, and community library collections. Children's Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review , July 2017
