Summary

Complete with mesmerizing map work that charts Darwin’s thrilling five-year voyage, as well as “Fun Facts” and more, author/illustrator Jennifer Thermes’s picture book biography Charles Darwin’s Around-the-World Adventure captures the beauty and mystery of nature with wide-eyed wonder.

In 1831, Charles Darwin embarked on his first voyage. Though he was a scientist by profession, he was an explorer at heart. While journeying around South America for the first time aboard a 90-foot-long ship named the Beagle, Charles collected insects, dug up bones, galloped with gauchos, encountered volcanoes and earthquakes, and even ate armadillo for breakfast! The discoveries he made during this adventure would later inspire ideas that changed how we see the world.

“A notable choice for both STEM curricula and family sharing.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A colorful, childlike presentation of Darwin’s eye-opening voyage of discovery.” —Booklist
