Grandmother Fish: A Child's First Book of Evolution
Grandmother Fish: A Child's First Book of Evolution | Jonathan Tweet
9 posts | 10 read | 10 to read
Where did we come from? It's a simple question, but not so simple an answer to explain especially to young children. Charles Darwin's theory of common descent no longer needs to be a scientific mystery to inquisitive young readers. Meet "Grandmother Fish."Told in an engaging call and response text where a child can wiggle like a fish or hoot like an ape and brought to life by vibrant artwork, "Grandmother Fish "takes children and adults through the history of life on our planet and explains how we are all connected.The book also includes comprehensive backmatter, including: - An elaborate illustration of the evolutionary tree of life- Helpful science notes for parents- How to explain natural selection to a child"

This book has amazing illustrations! I also think that the book using my familial terms will make it so much easier for them to understand and get a good grasp.

This book could be very useful introducing a subject that later down the line becomes very controversial. I think that even though not everyone believes in evolution this is a good book to introduce the concept & that organisms do change over time.

Just found this at work... Way too excited!
Back story: I work in the kids dept in an area referred to as the "Redneck Riviera" so I think I'm allowed to be pleasantly surprised that this is here. ?

My nearly 4 year old has begged us to read this a bazillion times since he unwrapped it at Christmas. It's a fun and educational introduction to evolution.

Say what?! A picture book about evolution? Sign me up! Children are encouraged to interact and identify the long ago relatives of familiar animals. The text is simple, the pictures colorful and clear, and the book provides a bunch of extra information about evolution at the end (including correcting common errors). 🤘#picturebookmonth

There is finally a fantastic picture book with a relatable explanation of evolution for kids. Not only that, but it's well written and has beautiful illustrations.
Great for toddlers to early elementary age.
