This super book introduces children to the story of life and how it all began. Using bitesize text and bright illustrations this is the perfect book for budding scientists and those eager to learn more about our amazing planet.

Written in consultation with the Natural History Museum, this is a lively and accessible introduction to evolution for primary-aged children. 

Are you ready for an exciting and dramatic story about how life began and developed on Planet Earth? At first, nothing lived on Earth. It was a noisy, hot, scary place. Choking gas exploded from volcanoes and oceans of lava bubbled around the globe...Then in the deep, dark ocean, something amazing happened. 

Find out how the first living cell was created, and how the cells multiply and create jellyfish and worms, and then fish with bendy necks, which drag themselves out of the water into swampy forests.

Paperback, 40 pages.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Thomas F. ★★★★★

My five-year-old was full of questions after we read this, and the bright illustrations really helped explain how life began. She keeps asking to read it again, which says a lot for a science book.

Brian ★★★★★

The bite-sized text makes complex ideas easy for my 7-year-old to grasp, and the bright illustrations kept her engaged for a full hour. She's already asking to revisit the page about how life began.

Riley ★★★★★

My 5-year-old keeps asking me to read this one again, which never happens with his other science books. The bitesize text on each page is perfect for his attention span, and I've actually learned a thing or two about early life myself.
