Book Review: Puerto Rico
"A super text about Puerto Rico, the Isle of Enchantment. Readers will find how the island was first inhabited by the Taino and how they were discovered by Christopher Columbus. You will find out about the rain forest, the hurricanes, how the people earn their living in Puerto Rico and just how beautiful the island is. There is plenty of information for young researchers in this text and would be extremely helpful to them."
