"An entertaining guide to the extraordinary creatures that could evolve in the future of our planet, that will fascinate imaginative young scientists as well as eco-warriors and will appeal to fans of Choose Your Own Evolution, who will enjoy another fun approach to serious science."
June 2026 Debut of the Month
Young readers will be initially attracted by the eye-catching cover, then by the contents page, which lists such intriguing creatures as a vampire butterfly, a terror pigeon or a punk fish, and then by a letter from a ‘Time Walker’ which talks about the extinction of the human race, and they will be completely hooked!
While containing a lot of pure entertainment, not least of which is the fabulous illustrations, this is a book which teaches a lot about the scientific principles of evolution, such as symbiosis, co-evolution and natural selection and about how life has evolved on this planet to the present day. It encourages young readers to think about what caused the creatures on our world today to evolve and look and act the way that they do and even more importantly to see how climate change and pollution is likely to have evolutionary impact as habitats change.
The future creatures imagined may be bizarre, but there is a sound scientific explanation for how they came about, as the characteristics which help them survive and reproduce get passed on to the next generation.
Engagingly written with accessible bite-sized text boxes, this is bound to be a very popular addition to class and school libraries and exactly the sort of book which will have groups of children poring over each page. It could also encourage lots of creative discussion as they come up with their own imagined creatures developing in response to current environmental issues.
