Overview
A perfect introduction to the world's greatest evolutionary biologist for all young explorers in a charming, fictional story illustrated in full colour, about an inquisitive boy who meets Charles Darwin and discovers a shared sense of wonder for the natural world.
Antonio lives in the Galápagos Islands and wants to know everything about everything – he never stops asking questions! One day he meets a stranger called Mr Darwin who also asks a lot of questions. Antonio shows him the wildlife around the island, including the cactus trees and lizards and the tortoise eggs which have yet to hatch. In return Mr Darwin shows Antonio all the things he has collected on his travels, like his beetle collection. When the tortoises hatch, Antonio gives one to Mr Darwin as a present, so that he always remembers his visit to the Islands and his young friend.
