I cannot wait for the movie.

They Came from DNA (Scientific American Mysteries of Science) A short but colorful book loaded with facts. And the spoonful of sugar comes from a unique way of presenting the facts: an alien by the name of Skreeg comes to Earth to find out what we are made of. For those who have problems getting around the whole DNA concept or just need parts filled in, this is an excellent starting place. Even have a Glossary, “For Further Reading”, and an Index. We wrap up with a letter from Skreeg.

The best (and funniest) intro to genetics I know...

If you or your kid is having trouble with molecular genetics TRY THIS 1ST! You won't be sorry. Lots of good info very amusingly presented, enough to get the basics down. Then move on to something deeper and not funny, like your text.
