Nancy Kotkin's Reviews > The Tree of Life: Charles Darwin

Text: 3 stars
Illustrations: 4 stars

Children's nonfiction picture book about the life and work of Charles Darwin. There is a ton of information presented on the pages and it is not appropriately distilled for child readers. A lot of the text is interesting, but it isn't organized well. To compound that, much of the text appears in a very small handwritten-type font, which is very difficult to read. Appropriate for upper elementary school students and best use within a guided group setting where an adult can focus the content.
