Synopsis
The Galapagos penguin, the world's third-smallest penguin species, is found only on the Galapagos Islands off the Ecuadoran coast. Kim A. O'Connell's look at this species, which lives farther north than any other penguin species, examines its island habitat, unique characteristics, and the efforts to save it from the fate of many other island bird species: extinction.Editorials

Gr 4-7-The first five pages in each book provide overviews of the Web sites that can be accessed when using the required code and visiting the MyReportLinks.com home page. A one-page fact sheet gives information about the animal such as scientific name, gestation period, habitat, and coloration. The following chapters explain why the animal has become endangered and the efforts that are being made to save it. The information is current and accurate and the Web sites are educational. These books could be used as tools for demonstrating how research can be done using books and Internet sites. The biggest drawbacks are the small and unclear photos and maps, which are mainly screen prints of Web shots.-Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.Book Details
