Grandmother Fish: A Child’s First Book of Evolution

Grandmother Fish takes readers through the history of life on Earth and explains how we are all connected. Readers see the evolution of various animals from reptiles to mammals, to apes, to humans. There is an evolutionary family tree which is useful for close examination and discussion. Told in an engaging call and response text, and illustrated with attractive contrasting tones and shades, it presents a complex subject in a simple way. Young students will be engaged by the sounds and actions built into the story, and intermediate children by the sequence of time that shows the evolution of different species.
