Beautiful: A Celebration of Evolution

Ideal for children aged 9-11 and for family reading, it offers an informative and positive perspective on biodiversity and adaptation. * School Reading List * Beautiful is an unforgettable visual and factual delight. All of nature is awe-inspiring and this magnificent book shows how a variety of amazing creatures have evolved to look and behave the way they do. As humans, we tend to like our animals to be cuddly and furry, or smooth and sleek, and often shy away from creatures that, to us, look odd. But we should forget those opinions because, says Spring, everything has evolved for a reason and is perfect in its own way. Illustrated with Spring's extraordinary watercolour images, and with positive and life-affirming messages for children and their parents, this book will be treasured by families in every corner of the world. -- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Evening Post * For everyone charmed by the virtuosity of zoological illustration, this is your book.
