I would like to thank netgalley and Lion Hudson Ltd for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Cute story looking at cave paintings.

This is the first book in the Curious Science Quest, and in this one, we find Harriet and Milton arguing about whether science and faith are completely different things. To determine who is right, the two use a time machine to go back to the very beginning and find out. This journey takes the reader to France to learn about caves filled with evidence of earlier civilizations found by children. Milton and Harriet also meet Lucy, explore genetic inheritance, and about the birth of humanity. While filled with more "science" than "religion" it starts off the series nicely, but a little slow. I would recommend this book for a little older reader, or to be read on its own. It is not necessary to read these in order.

Thank you NetGalley and Lion Children's for the opportunity to read an advance reader copy.

Pretty cool story/science book for kids! Various topics that would be of interest to children are introduced by time traveling tortoise and cat! Begins with human origin to cave paintings to dna, scientists who study us and the world we live in, things science got wrong and right! All written in simple terms kids 4th grade up should be able to understand! Nice list of websites at the end for kids to look up more info. Good read, teachers should take a look and parents maybe purchase for their curious kids!
