Customer Reviews

Love this series!

I love this series of books! This one is about Charles Darwin and his love of nature. I liked that it wasn't too critical of the creationism myth, but it gently encouraged more thought about evolution. I loved the overview of how Darwin learned and how he formulated his thoughts. I really liked this one and I look forward to more of this series!
