Rocky start to this book: left opening page describes crabs and lizards on the Galapagos Islands. The map on the right hand page does not put a data-point for the Galapagos. Did anyone objective read this short book prior to being published?

These are the basic kid-book facts. It lacked 'readability' though per switching font type, size, color and putting solid or dotted borders on pictures that might be aligned, or maybe slightly tilted.

Books like this bug me that are going for purely quick appeal. Colorful, browse-able. I guess libraries get STACKS of these books to satisfy having data books on various countries.

But I think even a young kid would read those first 2 pages, and then ask a parent/teacher: "Where are the Galapagos on the map? They are missing." This immediately begs the question: what else is missing in this book? You don't know what you don't know.

2.5*

This is a solid and quick read about Ecuador. My only complaint is that I would have liked more pictures/photographs (I'm a sucker for eye candy), but there is plenty as-is. I also like that this book discusses the history of the area as well as the current culture, etc. There is a recipe for fried plantains, too!
