About this ebook

Giant Galápagos tortoises have roamed the Galápagos Islands for thousands of years, but these creatures almost disappeared from their tropical habitat. Giant Galápagos Tortoise describes the world's largest tortoise, how sailors and invasive species caused its population to dwindle, and how habitat preservation and captive breeding have helped save the species. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

Ratings and reviews

Great educational book with just the right amount of information. I will use it for my 7 year old's diorama project, but will keep it in my pocket for future more in depth teaching. Great educational tool for understanding the species and also opening a child's eyes to our responsibilities as humans.
