Charles Darwin was an amazing pioneer, botanist, biologist and explorer, and of course one of the most important scientific minds of his time. We recognise his achievements and amazing adventures, and in "Darwin's Voyage of Discovery" by Jake Williams, you'll get to find out lots more about this amazing man.

It's time to board the HMS Beagle and follow the remarkable journeys from England to Cape Verde, Brazil to the Galapagos, Tahiti to Australia - journeys that inspired our modern knowledge of the natural world. 

As well as Darwin's ground-breaking and controversial publications and theories in "The Origin of Species" Darwin began to catalogue and detail many amazing creatures that had never been seen before. 

Giant sloths, the incredibly weird Duck-Billed platypus, scary tarantulas, glowing fireflies and many other weird and wonderful creatures were found on Darwin's globe-trotting voyages. 

Jake has curated a ton of amazing and interesting facts about those journeys, and gathered together tons of information about the amazing creatures Darwin began to find. 





Sum this book up in a sentence: A superb way for kids to learn about Charles Darwin and his amazing work discovering the building blocks of evolution, and the amazing creatures in some of the most remote parts of our planet. 

"Darwin's Voyage of Discovery" by Jake Williams is out now, published by Pavilion Children's Books (kindly supplied for review).
