(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jean Cassels & Jean Cassels. A simple narrative about the Galápagos saddleback tortoise artfully incorporates details about his life: his habits and characteristics, his apparent sole-survivor status, his discovery by wardens from the Galápagos National Park, and his removal to the Darwin Research Station. Detailed illustrations extend the text, and a brief afterword offers more information. Directory.
