"Learn the funny and fascinating story of Charles Darwin and the groundbreaking discoveries his love of the humble worms led to in this hilarious interactive illustrated book. Charles Darwin is widely known for his ""Origin of Species"" book, yet Darwin had another great love, and that was for worms. Told for the first time for children, this is the silly and fascinating true story of how Charles Darwin came to discover that the humble earthworm is the most important species on our planet, by finding that their poo sustains and enriches the soil, and without it there would be no life on Earth!

Told in a humorous and engaging way with pull-out panels on each page to help educate alongside the story, curious minds will love this fact-filled, laugh-out-loud title. The story of Darwin and the worms not only centres around the perennially brilliant subject of poo, it teaches children about a key historic figure, the food cycle and deductive scientific thinking. It is also a heartwarming story of the triumph of a zany underdog who won't let bullies get in the way of his love for worms.

""It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world, as have these lowly organized creatures."" - Charles Darwin"
