Review
This true story of Lonesome George, a giant tortoise, who lived to be one hundred years old is fascinating to anyone who has heard of the Galapagos Islands and loves nature. Full of beautiful paintings it also includes in the back of the book, key terms, a timeline and additional resources. This book also meets the Common Core State Standards for English language arts/Science and Technical subjects. A great addition to a personal, school or public library.
Overall Book Score: excellent
