IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MORE ON THE GALAPAGOS - Here's a suggestion from one of our readers: "I have a great book in my school library titled Dawn To Dusk In The Galapagos. The author of the Book is Rita Golden Gelman and the photos are by Tui De Roy. I'm going to introduce that book to my students so they will be familiar with the characters in your book when I read it on May 15, 2007..."
