The book in question is based on the figure of the English naturalist Charles Darwin to introduce the idea of evolutionary change and, more specifically, the idea of common ancestry. In relation to the content, some virtues of the text under review stand out, among them the recourse to known phenomena and analogical reasoning, which facilitate the understanding of a scientific idea central to Darwin's work and to current biology that is contrary to common sense. In relation to the style, the clear and attractive character of the text is emphasized, as well as the quality of the illustrations. It is concluded that the book is a good introduction to evolutionary thought for young children, and that its reading could facilitate the later construction of scientific models of evolutionary biology in school. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) En este texto se realiza una reseña del libro para niñas y niños sobre evolución biológica del filósofo Santiago Ginnobili titulado "Una gran familia". El libro en cuestión se basa en la figura del naturalista inglés Charles Darwin para introducir la idea de cambio evolutivo y, más específicamente, la idea de ancestralidad común. En relación con el contenido, se destacan algunas virtudes del texto reseñado, entre ellas el recurso a fenómenos conocidos y a razonamientos analógicos, que facilitan la comprensión de una idea científica central en la obra de Darwin y en la biología actual que resulta contraria al sentido común. En relación con el estilo se destaca el carácter claro y atractivo del texto, así como la calidad de las ilustraciones. Se concluye que el libro constituye una buena introducción al pensamiento evolucionista para niñas y niños pequeños, y que su lectura podría facilitar la posterior construcción de los modelos científicos de la Biología Evolutiva en la escuela.
