5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice layout - love the extra tidbits along the way!,
This review is from: Animals Charles Darwin Saw (Explorers (Chronicle Books)) (Hardcover)
The illustrations in this one were not my favorite, but I liked the way the author framed Darwin's story through the lens of the animals. For each two page spread there's a little text box off to the side that gives more information either about the animals or other related facts of the narration - for instance how an octopus changes color or the changes in the peppered moth). For this reason and the great map at the back of the Beagle's voyage I highly recommend it.
