4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 339 ratings

This book introduces children ages 7-9 to the amazing science of DNA, genetics, and what makes you you.

It's inside every living plant and animal, from the tiniest seed to the person standing next to you, but how much do you know about DNA? This book gives children an in-depth look at DNA and its role in all living things--from why we have different-colored eyes to why we age. Discover what DNA is, what it does, and how it shapes our lives, including inheritance and why we look like our parents; forensic science and how DNA evidence helps catch criminals; and genetic engineering and if we could bring dinosaurs back to life. With fun illustrated DNA characters, clear diagrams, and astonishing photographs, children will love learning about themselves and this all-important molecule.

The DNA Book is packed with colorful illustrations and mind-boggling facts, perfect for curious young minds. It's a great addition to any STEAM library and decodes how DNA underpins life on Earth.

    I also have the bacteria book which is why I purchased this one without a second thought. Both books are great. The format allows me to pick a topic and jump to that topic so I don’t have to read a long book from cover to cover for my daughter. There are plenty of of high color pictures and engaging blurbs that explain each part of the picture. It’s a great reference that a kid will pick up and read and unless you have a degree in this subject you’ll probably learn a lot from the kids book.

    While we understand that genes mutate and adaptation favors beneficial genes and traits, the claim that new species come from mutations in other species is unfounded. So, I don't love that there is a whole double-page spread on the topic of the species family tree, per se. Other than that false information, the book is well designed, fun to look at, and informative.

    Reviewed in India on November 13, 2023
    If I had this book for my 11th and 12th grade I would have understood DNA better. The best part is my 9-year-old loves it too, which is surprising because this is not really easy to understand. Maybe the pictures and how a simple thing as DNA could be holding such complex information is what might have attracted him. This is a really good gift for budding scientists, doctors or even adults who love science

    This is an excelent book, it is made with high quality materials and the illustrations are great for kids. My son loves it, and keeps him interested in biology and chemistry. He is just 6 but understands it perfectly.

    Reviewed in Spain on October 27, 2020
    DNA is one of my favourite subjects and I wanted a simple, colourful, yet informative book about it to help start explaining it properly to my 6yo. She finds it interesting and with help, not too hard to understand. A bit advanced for her age to read alone, but super guide with some parental help.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book: makes science engaging and understandable
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2020
    This was everything we could have hoped. DNA is fascinating, but complicated. The book makes it approachable and engaging, and my little girl was so enthused, she wanted us to make a pipe cleaner model of the double helix - thank you, Youtube, for a guide on how to do that! She's enthralled, and all of it after watching Jurassic Park and wanting to know what they were talking about. For a lockdown home education book, you really couldn't have hoped for more. Absolutely recommend (also their Bacteria book - another very child-friendly hit).
