Curious kids may enjoy browsing through this cornucopia of island facts." --Kirkus Reviews

This is a great book for kids who are interested in landforms and the natural world. It's a great introduction to world geography and the science of how islands are formed." --Youth Services Book Review

For those who travel or just love the idea of it, there is so much to learn and so much to enjoy in this book. There is tons of trivia to read about and so many connections to be made to history, nature, daily life, and so much more. The information on each page is presented in easily digestible paragraphs scattered throughout the pages to cover a variety of different topics. It is a thoroughly enjoyable book that will keep readers turning the pages." --Beth Rogers, YA and Kids' Books Central
