The Voyage of the Beetle

I finished this book on 7/02/09

The Voyage of the Beetle is another book about Darwin, but this time, A: it isn't a picture book, and B: it isn't from a human's point of view. Instead of using a human being's point of view, the author of this book uses the viewpoint of Darwin's “pet” beetle, Rosie! It was a very good idea for the author to do this because it made it a bit more interesting. I learned that Darwin at first didn't even like being at the Galapagos Islands-–he said some kind of swear-word like thing when he stepped on the shore because he didn't like the looks of it, though he made one of his major discoveries there!
