It's all happening at the zoo! Enjoy FREE admission for four at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, RI.

One Beetle Too Many: An Illustrated Hardcover Children's Book by Kathryn Lasky

A lively text and captivating images tell the story of the ever-curious boy who grew up to make one of the most significant discoveries of our time.

In a clear, engaging narration, Kathryn Lasky takes readers along on Darwin's journey, from his discovery of seashells on mountaintops that revealed geological changes to his observations of variations in plants and animals, suggesting that all living things are evolving over time. Matthew Trueman's striking mixed-media illustrations include actual objects found in nature, enhancing this compelling look at the man behind the bold theory that would change the way we think about the world — and ourselves.

Candlewick Press arrived on the scene with some of the highest-quality picture books anywhere. And in the years since then, their offerings have grown to encompass all ages, from board books to e-books, high-end novelty to cutting-edge fiction. What hasn't changed is their goal of excellence, their model of independence, and their commitment to the authors and illustrators who create their books and the readers who love them. Two decades and more than 2,000 awards and accolades later, they are as committed as ever to independent thinking and primed for a future that looks brighter than ever.
