Good For All Ages

I had no idea pink dolphins existed so when I saw this book I thought it was just a children's book and was very pleased when I started reading and looking thorugh the pages. It is a perfect book to share with children, my daughter loves it. The words and photographs set forth a great message about our world around us and the environment so it is educational and fun at the same time. There is enough there to teach adults some things - as I said I had nno idea about pink dolphins and that was just one of the things the book revealed. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

Encantado: A great book for kids!

This is a marvelous book for your kid, your nephew or niece, your grandchild. Full of the excitement of discovery and the adventure of investigating a little-known creature in a dazzlingly diverse and mysterious rainforest world. A fun read, and packed with great facts kids will want to learn and share. More than facts, though, the book gets across the idea that the young reader CAN be an explorer, CAN be a scientist, and CAN help save the rainforest. Every kid should read this, and it would make a great addition to grade school curricula.
