This four-color, Gold Medallion Book Award winner is a perfect tool that offers solid, biblical answers to some of the tough questions kids ask about evolution and our world.
“Did Earth begin with a ‘Big Bang’ cosmic explosion?”
“Does science contradict the Bible?”
“What happened to dinosaurs?”
“Is there life on other planets?”
“Did we evolve from apes?”
“What makes my body work on its own?”
Kids are daily exposed to the theory of evolution by the media and public schools. It’s not safe to assume that your kids will reject that theory. It’s up to us as parents and Christian leaders to make sure our children know the truth about the creation of the world. With thousands of evidences to prove He created and sustains the universe, It Couldn’t Just Happen will fascinate kids with fun activities and examples of God’s marvelous works.

That said, this is an okay book. It is more rational than many, while still being respectful of God. However, it really needs to be proofread by a good science fact-checker to hunt out errors like the "O2H" one mentioned above, as well as more subtle errors that are based on misunderstandings of science. The author is a seminary graduate, rather than a scientist. It would be nice to have a book by someone who is both.

That's the reason why you won't find this type of book outside of the reactionary Bible belt of the USA.
Lawrence O Richards is an "evolution denier". He is a bogeyman propagandist of the Christian fundamentalist indoctrinators, a small minority who are trying desperately to counter-attack against prevailing scientific acknowledgement of Evolution Theory. These people are (I think) dishonestly trying to propagandize and defend what is now, in 2014, scientifically indefensible. This is Custer's Last Stand.
In thousands of southern USA schools and colleges the teachers try to teach maths and physics by saying that it all stemmed from "God" which is nonsensical (and a lie, in fact). None of this type of weird slant would ever be permitted or acceptable in European education, although it probably was prevalent before the 1860's.
The arguments for I.D. (intelligent design) are feeble, and bring no reasoned evidence to bear, other than peculiar and unconvincing quotes from the Bible. I think few rational people today could take such a book seriously....but this does not seem to prevent the diehards like Richards.
Page 14: He says "There is evidence (of God)".. Where? Certainly not here in this book. Yes: accidental evolution can and does happen. As they say in the movies, we just need to "deal with it!".
