Future Geniuses

Discover the mysteries of science with Future Geniuses! Darwin the chicken feels like the smallest animal in the farm, but he wants to be big and strong like a dinosaur. Come along with Valentina, a young paleontologist, in this adventure about the history of evolution and find out how she gets Darwin to feel proud of who he is! Valentina and Darwin travel back in time to find the origin of life. They go all the way back, before there were any plants or even animals in the world. Valentina teaches Darwin about unicellular organisms, bad and good mutations, and variations. Then they observe microevolutions and macroevolutions, which lead to new species. Soon, Valentine and Darwin are surrounded by invertebrates and vertebrates and then-dinosaurs! But what happened to the dinosaurs? And how did the dinosaurs eventually evolve into birds? Future Geniuses is a collection that will help families spend a lot of time reading and learning together. Through simple text and fun illustrations, author and scientist Carlos Pazos makes the subjects of evolution, and specifically dinosaurs and their creation and extinction, approachable and easy to understand for even the smallest scientists.

Discover the mystery of science with Future Geniuses! Little Doctor Valentina is back with a brand new adventure! This time, join Valentina as she explains the concept of genetics, using her adorable puppy, Mendel, as her model. With her handy microscope, Valentina examines Mendel's cells and teaches us all about cell parts-organelles, membranes, cytoplasm, and finally, the powerhouse of the cell, the nucleus. Within the nucleus, Valentina points out the DNA and the genes that explain everything about us-like why Mendel is yellow and his siblings are brown! Dive deep into the world of genetics and learn all about nitrogen bases, RNA, chromosomes, mitosis, and more. Uncover what makes you, well, you!
