I liked this book because it talked about adapting and how the island sunk. It was interesting because after the island stopped erupting it started sinking by less than a millimeter a year. I liked how it talked about how people explored it at the end.

I really liked this book because the illustrations really helped with describing how the island changed over time. I don't think it would have been as good without all those illustrations, which were really beautiful.

I read the book Galapagos Island. I really like this book because it was about how the Galapagos Islands came to be. If you like science and experimenting then you could enjoy this book too. My favorite part was when they described how the volcanoes grew.. and grew...and grew.

I enjoyed the book Island because it was an interesting story about how the Galapagos Islands were created. It had amazing illustrations that look like it was real. It gave excellent information about the Galapagos. This would be a great book for almost all ages but for younger people it could be read to.

ReplyDeletethat is why I like this book.
You should read Island because it was about Galapagos Islands. They had many animals on the islands. My favorite part was when all the animals were going to islands. Another part that I liked was when the animals had to move because one of the islands was gone. I really liked Island because it is a true story. It was really interesting.

When I read the book Island a story about the Galapagos I couldn't stop reading it. It was interesting because I like geology. I do enjoy volcanic activity and Island life cycle and how deep it sinks every year. I recommend this book for people who like geology.
ReplyDeleteS.S. Greenbush Elementary School
I like this book because it’s about dinosaurs and volcanoes and it happened in the 1800’s. The island has sunken into the ocean thats the part I didn’t like because the dinosaurs died too. One day on the island the volcano exploded with lava thats how it sinked into the ocean. I hope you would like this book because it’s about scientific stuff.

My favorite part in island is when the island was getting smaller and smaller each year. The island became so small that it was at the bottom of the ocean.

Island is a book about the Galapagos Islands and how they were formed. I didn’t like this book because I’m not really interested in the history of the Galapagos Islands.
ReplyDeleteBut I was interested in the part when the volcanos kept erupting and forming new islands. Also I liked the animals.
