A compendium of oddly interesting facts about islands, large and small, and their human and animal inhabitants ... The layouts are varied and lively, with realistic details of animals and plants, and occasional foldouts add both more space for information and a bit of excitement. Curious kids may enjoy browsing through this cornucopia of island facts
