Over time, castaway plants and animals from hundreds of miles away arrived on the rocky shores and adapted to each island’s changing volcanic landscape and seasonal weather variations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn these isolated locations constantly affected by shifting winds and swift ocean currents, much of the wildlife evolved into species found nowhere else on Earth. Some of the many distinctive organisms featured include giant daisy trees, Galápagos penguins, marine iguanas, blue footed boobies, and Galápagos giant tortoises.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe well-researched back matter includes poetry notes, a glossary, resources, and a list of the species from this remarkable ecosystem that are highlighted in the book.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682634967\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 28-03-2023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.3 x 9.8 x 0.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holiday House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54014894637402,"sku":"1682634965","price":16.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/5762\/7482\/files\/81gm2A9TJpL.jpg?v=1776445229","url":"https:\/\/shoppingterra.ro\/products\/galapagos-islands-of-change","provider":"ShoppingTerra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
