Animals Christopher Columbus Saw -- In this new series by award-winning author Sandra Markle, famous explorers take a back seat to the animals they encountered along the way. While nothing about Christopher Columbus' journey was expected, he couldn't have imagined feasting on roasted lizard! Through nimble writing and beautiful paintings, this series casts the past in a whole new light!

Sandra Markle is a former elementary school science teacher, a nationally known science education consultant, and the author of many award-wining books for children.
