Great Fun, Educational Children's Book!

I bought this book for my three year old son. We had checked out of the library several times at his request so I thought we should have our own copy. It's the true story of Lonesome George, the last surviving Pinta Island giant tortoise. My son loves tortoises and he loves George especially. The book is nonfiction but the story is told just like fictional picture book. It's a fun, educational book - we've read it multiple times and I still even enjoy it.
