Description
Children are often familiar with the idea of heredity from the first time a friend or relative points out they look like a sibling or parent. This book will help kids understand why animals' offspring look like their parents, as well as why they may share traits with their parents and other family members. The science behind heredity is explained in simple, age-appropriate text, while graphic organizers help to show how genes and heredity work.
