The first ever picture-book retelling of Charles Darwin's On The
Origin of Species. 'A long, long time ago, before humans even
existed, the living world looked very different from how it looks
today.' For most of human history, people believed that everything
in the world was created at once. But scientists started to
challenge that idea and in 1859 Charles Darwin, a naturalist and
biologist, wrote a famous book called On the Origin of Species that
revolutionised the way that we have understood evolution ever
since. Now molecular biologist and illustrator Sabina Radeva has
recreated Darwin's most famous work as a beautifully illustrated
book for children and adults alike. The stunning pictures bring the
theory of evolution to life for young readers, and anyone who wants
to learn about evolution. Pulling together Darwin's observations
from his travels around the world and his ground-breaking
explanation of how species form, develop, and change over hundreds
of thousands of years, On The Origin of Species is as relevant and
important now as it ever was. A very important project, most
beautifully realised. Sabina Radeva's thoughtful text and gorgeous
pictures together tell the story of On The Origin of Species, and
of Evolution itself, with clarity, humour and great charm. - Emma
Darwin An entrancing picture-book retelling of Darwin's on the
Origin of Species ... filled with informative, beautifully designed

includes more than 50 flaps, pop-ups, pull-tabs, and rotating

the page for a 3-D look inside a wolf's mouth, or rotate a wheel to
see the life cycle of a butterfly. An immersive and satisfying
hands-on learning experience, The Ultimate Book of Animals is an
essential reference and a valuable addition to the Ultimate Books
collection.
