My 7 and 4 yr olds say everything about this book is incorrect.
My expertise is not biology or astronomy, but I believe the book does explain the currently accepted scientific beliefs about life as we know it.
My 9 year old son needs help in science he is in 4th grade.
I hope this book helps, it’s got some lovely science explanations.
