Big questions on evolution and space

[hophophippidtyhop]

I've put this here as I thought it would be the most helpful for recommendations. Dd (6) is asking me all about evolution - of man and the planet, how the planet stays in space, and how life began etc. I would like to find some sites to help me explain it to her easily. I know some stuff, but need some visuals and to make sure I get my facts right. She is at school, (so no access to home ed resources known to me) but I'd like to answer her questions, and figured home ed would know the best resources! Any help much appreciated.

Could you borrow Richard Dawkins "The Magic of Reality" and/or Bill Bryson's "A Really Short History of Nearly Everything" (the children's version of A Short History of Nearly Everything) from the library?

Those look great books, though I wanted something she could read herself, and a bit more visual. Although she's a fab reader for 6 and a little ahead, I think those are for maybe a couple years later. Have put them on my wishlist so I don't forget! Thank you.

We have this book space

DD likes it a lot (she's 4). I'd say a 6 year old would be able to read it fine. It has flaps, pop ups, little bits to pull out and turn. Quite fun but factually good also.

That looks great, just the kind of thing,thanks.

In that case try this fab pop up book - everything from the big bang to human cities.
