This is a wonderful book to teach children who Charles Darwin was. However like any sort of biographical book children may grow bored from reading about it. However, I think it is an important book even for adults to read and learn about, after all Charles Darwin has impacted life as we know it

greatly.
The book does very good job when describing Charles Darwin, the man - who was the son of a physician and who, besides being methodical and curious, actually wanted to be a minister. The book also did a great job elaborating about the differences between "theory" and "Theory" throughout the book. This book also has a decent amount of illustrations which makes it a bit easier and more enjoyable to read.
