We're Sailing to Galapagos: A Week in the Pacific
by Laurie Krebs, illustrated by Grazia Restelli
Ages 4-8 32 pages Barefoot Books February 2005 Hardcover    

Imagine spending a week sailing to Galapagos Island, a place rich with animal and sea life. Kids can take this fun and educational journey in full color in We’re Sailing to Galapagos, a rollicking book with a sing-song style and delightful, eye-catching cut-out collage style artwork.

Laurie Krebs, a first grade teacher-turned-author, teams with Italian trained artist Grazia Restelli in a book that celebrates the natural diversity of the islands in the Pacific off the mainland of South America. The cheerfully bouncy text is like a sea shanty accompanied by the collage art that fills the pages with a sense of wonder and awe. Kids learn about the varied bird, animal and sea life that call the Galapagos home and get even more facts about this unusual corner of the world in appendices at the back of the book.

This book is part travelogue, part pure adventure, presented in a unique style that pleases the ear as well as the eye.
