About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking big questions about where animals came from or why there are so many different kinds of creatures. "Alien Eraser Reveals the Secrets of Evolution" uses a clever and funny story to make the complex science of evolution accessible and exciting.

This book is perfect for curious 7 to 10-year-olds who love science and adventure. It masterfully blends facts with fiction, satisfying a child's sense of wonder without ever feeling like a textbook.
