This book was about a little boy who had to write a paper about a bird. He choose a different bird, a Kiwi. The class laughed because Charlie picked a Kiwi and he didn't fly. So Charlie went back in time to learn about the ancestors of a Kiwi. He concluded that dinosaurs were the first birds and all the other birds have evolved from them. ( ) This book is a great way to introduce the concept of evolution to children. One reason being that the main character, Charlie, starts the story with no understanding of the theory of evolution. As the story progresses to the end, Charlie has gained a thorough idea of what evolution is. Charlie achieves this accomplishment by discovering that his stuffed animal kiwi bird is actually alive and possesses a time machine. Charlie and Kiwi quickly meet his very old uncle named Charles, who is obviously supposed to represent Charles Darwin. All together, Charles, Charlie, and Kiwi travel through time to discover that birds came from dinosaurs, and Kiwi bird's evolved into their current traits to adapt to their environment. Apart from all the valuable educational knowledge this book has to offer, I really enjoyed seeing Charlie's arc of gaining confidence to explain his research. Charlie feared being misunderstood for his decision to research the Kiwi bird, but after determination and hard work, he was able to help people understand why his decision was so important. A little boy named Charlie time travels to find out information. In class he gets an assignment to discuss a bird.Charlie's bird is different and he needs to figure out why. He time travels with his stuffed bird, Kiwi. They meet his grandfather and begin their journey back in time. The book discusses Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. The characters observe how birds evolved and changed. Science terms such as, adaptation and survival of the fittest are explained. I would read this to my students when discussing these subjects. I would give older students different animals that evolved. They would work in groups to research and find out how the animal changed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
