Illustrated by Robaire Ream
Beautifully illustrated in full color, Stones & Bones sketches the story of evolution in seventeen verses. Through words and illustrations readers will find answers to questions such as, when did the Age of Mammals begin and what is it called? When did the first horses appear on earth? The first whales? What is the name and date of Darwin’s revolutionary book on evolution? When did the earth begin to form? And many more.
“A fanciful jaunt through evolutionary science executed so well it must have Jerry Falwell turning back to stardust in his grave. . . . I'd recommend it to children ages two to 102. It's an exceptional example of making learning really fun.” —P. Joseph Potocki, North Bay Bohemian, April 2008
“Stones and Bones will delight the picture-book set with its rhythmic verse and gorgeous, intricate pictures. Readers (and the read-to) also are likely to learn the real science of evolution, a definite plus.” —Eugenie C. Scott, Executive Director, National Center for Science Education
“Not only is the book great and right-on, but the support materials of CD and the incredible web site make the whole package one of the most satifying and imaginative ones I've seen to date. It is truly spectacular.” —Phyllis Tickle, Religion Editor, Publishers Weekly (ret.)
“As a science teacher for over thirty years with the last thirteen dedicated to teaching teachers how to teach science, I can say this book is a gem for explaining the process of evolution to children. It is informative … whimsical and downright fun to read.” —William M. Short from amazon.com
“An exceptional children’s book that teaches through rhyme and incredibly detailed images ... I encourage parents to pick up this book for their young ones. Without hesitation, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.” —Lillian Brummet, host of the Conscious Discussions radio show
Stones & Bones is a delight from the perspective of both language and art. Readers—children and adults alike—will easily be drawn into the world of science while having fun. —Michael Zimmerman, Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University
From the pages of Stones & Bones,
About sixty million years ago,
no, make that sixty five,
with the Cenozoic Age,
the age of mammals would arrive.
There were mastodons and woolly . . .
For children of all ages
