The Humblebee Hunter: While many might be familiar with the life of Darwin, few of us have had the opportunity to see Darwin the family man -- at home in England, doing what he loved best -- walking, exploring, and observing. All the while he pursued the answers to his most persistent questions, and he often had a little bit of help. In her lyrical story of Charles Darwin at home with his children, Deborah Hopkinson portrays a very human side of one of the most revered figures in the history of science. In doing so, she shows the natural affinity children have for the scientific process. Hardcover Picture Book. Ages 4 - 8. The Humblebee Hunter HC3560 $16.99 |
