All of our bargain books are brand new, perfectly readable and represent a tremendous value!
The bargain books are, however, publisher overstocks and remainders that TRW purchases at
deep discounts. As a result, they may have a small mark through the UPC bar code or a small
mark on the side of the book. This is simply to mark the books so they cannot be sent back to
a publisher. Because of this, bargain books are non returnable to TRW unless they are damaged.
Please consider this before ordering.

| The Riverbank | ||
| ISBN: 9781568462073 Author: Darwin, Charles (Author) / Negrin, Fabian (Illustr Publisher: Creative Editions Published: August 2009 Retail: $17.95 OUR PRICE: $3.09 You Save 83% Binding Type: Hardcover Annotation: A series of illustrations of a country riverbank are accompanied by the final paragraph about Darwin's groundbreaking On the Origin of Species. The paintings show a young boy and his dog as they explore the flora and fauna that populate both the river and the area surrounding it. The lush, detailed watercolors provide plenty for readers to discover. There is movement and life throughout, and the large font and white space help to create a visually pleasing book. However, the text is complex even with the illustrations to help interpret it and the definitions of terms in the back matter. It is difficult to identify the audience for this one. Complicated concepts and an old-fashioned sentence structure ("There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one...") will derail sharing this book with groups, but individual children may find something in the pictures to keep them absorbed |
