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..." Joanne - Librarian at Hopewell Elementary School, Taunton, Mass.  |
