When visiting my parents in the West Indies, absolutely, with a particular focus on life by the seashore. The kids still remember the baby hawksbill sea turtles they are able to touch and hold at the aquarium... And one of the kids' favorite (natural) history books is the picture book version of Mark Kurlansky's "Cod". Also on the shelves here, "The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss" by Claire Nouvian (a Christmas present from my parents the other year); "Shelley" and "Sea Turtles Hatching" by Katherine Orr; "The Sea Around Us" by Rachel Carson; "Singing Whales & Flying Squid" by Richard Ellis; and "Civilization and the Limpet" by Martin Wells. We've got some good Caribbean ocean life coloring books and some good picture books, mostly I think from Macmillan Caribbean. We try to avoid many of the very dry library/book report-type books on the subject. It depends where we are — in the landlocked Canadian prairies, not often : ).
