DESCRIPTION:
Once a favorite pirate hideaway, the islands are home to a rich variety of plant and animal life, many unique to the archipelago. Accurately detailed, colorable images of flora and fauna from the exotic islands that inspired Darwin's theory of evolutionFrom Charles Darwin's historic visit in 1835 to the present wave of tourism by naturalists and nature lovers, the Galapagos Islands have proved to be a fascinating destination. Carefully researched illustrations spotlight 32 unusual animals from these isolated islands off the west coast of South America. It was here that the young Charles Darwin first observed the differences in species that led to the formulation of his landmark theory of evolution. Depicted amid the vegetation in their native habitats are:• Giant tortoise &bull
Shara Castle said Galapagos Islands. This was a wonderful coloring/fact book for my 9 yr. old daughter as we traveled through and observed the beautiful animals of the Galapagos! Easy to travel with and she was excited to color the many animals that she encountered.. "Fun times!" according to Angela M. Helt. This coloring book was both informative and fun! It bought it before traveling to the Galapagos and I had fun learning about the animals.. coloring book My daughter is not born until September, so we won't be using this for a while, but I could not pass up a chance to get her a Darwin Coloring book and a book about the Galapagos Islands. It feels like such a rare treat to get such a thing. You dont see things like this a lot. I would love to see more books about how to introduce Darwin and evolution to children
