About this ebook
Where did we come from?
It's a simple question, but not so simple an answer to explain—especially to young children. Charles Darwin's theory of common descent no longer needs to be a scientific mystery to inquisitive young readers. Meet Grandmother Fish.
Told in an engaging call and response text where a child can wiggle like a fish or hoot like an ape and brought to life by vibrant artwork, Grandmother Fish takes children and adults through the history of life on our planet and explains how we are all connected.
The book also includes comprehensive backmatter, including:
- An elaborate illustration of the evolutionary tree of life
- Helpful science notes for parents
- How to explain natural selection to a child

Author
Jonathan Tweet
Jonathan Tweet has been an innovative game designer for over 25 years and a fan of evolution for even longer. His award-winning games are well-known for engaging the players’ imaginations and encouraging creative participation. Grandmother Fish, his first children's book, took 15 years to complete. It began when he couldn't find a book to help him teach his daughter about evolution, so he decided to write one himself.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Love the illustrations and the book tells a nice story but It needs to be digitalized again to capture all the words. Some of them appear as big chunks of color and can’t be deciphered.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Good book but can't read some of the words thanks to the way it was digitalized.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I loved the content of the book very much, and the illustrations and format are wonderful. But this edition has obliterated a lot of the words! Very disappointing. And the fault lies with Scribd in this case, not with the author or illustrator or publisher.
