Can anyone recommend a book that explains evolution in a way a 4 yo can grasp?

The OU do a great colour poster. It's available free from the OU part of the BBC website.

My DD loves her copy of The story of Everything. She's had it since she was about 4.
It's a lightening fast journey from the Big Bang, through dinosaurs and human evolution up to the development of a modern city.

And it's a pop-up book.

Brilliant grin

I'm getting lots of questions from DS1 along the lines of 'how did people first appear?', 'what colour were the dinosaurs?', etc. Does anyone know a book that tackles the mechanisms of evolution in a very basic way?
