(3) 4-6 Nature Walk series. Beginning with a simple explanation of Linnaeus's classification of living things, the author introduces Charles Darwin and his theories of evolution and natural selection and their impact on science both then and now. Although the book's cover makes it look a little more babyish than is the content, the many color photographs, diagrams, and sidebars effectively supplement the accessible text. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
