Island: A Story of the Galápagos by Jason Chin

4.0

---

Does your child know how an island forms or changes over time? This book offers copious research and beautiful watercolors to tell the story of the Galapagos Islands, their vegetation, and their evolutionary biology at an elementary level. Your children will enjoy the frame by frame sequencing of wildlife adaptations as you explore each chapter in the islands’ history. The end of the book even provides a basic introduction to Darwin’s discoveries about the endemic species. Do not overlook the field guide-like endpapers. This is a charmingly engaging way to discover non-fiction!
