Etty Darwin and the Four Pebble Problem | Lauren Soloy

pick

4 ⭐ Eddy is the daughter of Charles Darwin. Her full name is Henrietta, but she prefers to go by Eddy. This book is about how she walks along the sand walk that her father walks, just to think. No one knows exactly what questions, Eddy and her father posed on these rocks, the author poses the question “are fairies real?”. The reader sees how Charles teaches his daughter to have an open mind and the way his daughter teaches her father that not

LibrarianRyan everything is as it seems. Overall, this was a lovely book and unlike many nonfiction books, would be very easy to read at story time. 7mo

Another 'based on real people and events' picture book with a little girl as the lead, by Lauren Soloy. I'm loving the theme, and her art!

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks it's OK, was getting a bit slow towards the end - it definitely could be edited down a bit! 1y

so-so

#atyin52books23 @BarbaraBB #relatedtoscience

Darwin visited the Tierra del Fuego archipelago whilst on HMS Beagle, which does #argentina for #readingtheamericas2023 @Librarybelle

#doublespin for February read! @TheAromaofBooks

I won't be reading Darwin's autobiography after reading this - it's apparently full of inaccuracies.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1y

Librarybelle Interesting to note about Darwin‘s autobiography! 1y

jenniferw88 @Librarybelle basically he doesn't credit any of his predecessors/contemporaries - including his own grandfather (!) - on helping him come up with the theory of evolution. It's 'MY theory this' & 'MY theory that'. He does acknowledge that both Alfred Russel Wallace & he did come up with the idea independently of each other though, so that's something! 😂 @AllDebooks 1y

AllDebooks @jenniferw88 I don't suppose there was any way he could deny ARW's work😅 1y

Librarybelle Wow! Totally did not know that! 1y

BarbaraBB Interesting! 1y

TrishB @squirrelbrain they say they‘ve got some on the entrances, but unless they‘re actually carrying the pink gift bag how are they going to tell. I‘d love to know where they‘ve been and who just got up and said I‘m taking them back today! (edited) 2y
