An engaging excursion to San Cristobal, the oldest island of the Galapagos, as seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old explorer. Kids come along as Connor tracks marine iguanas and giant tortoises, sees how sea lion pups are put to bed, explores a coffee plantation by burro, discovers a colony of birds with sky blue feet, and finds out just how heavy a baby giant tortoise really is. Narrated by Connor with humor and insight, this real-life adventure story gives a kid's-eye-view of the Galapagos sprinkled with bite-sized facts about Galapagos animals and history. Following Connor day by day makes this far-away place accessible to young people, igniting interest in further learning and inspiring a caring attitude toward its diverse wildlife and unique eco-system.—Anonymous
