Islands: Islands are amazing! They are a beautiful part of planet Earth and add lots of color and life to the World around us.
Have you ever been to an island before? What did you like about it? What didn’t you like? If you have never been to an island, would you like to go? What do you think you might see there? Any ideas?
Don’t worry! This little book is going to give you lots of fascinating tips about islands and how fun it can be to visit. You might even want to live there for a while! Are you ready? Then let’s get started!
First things first: What is an Island?
Answer: An Island is a piece of land surrounded by water. You can find them in the ocean, rivers, and even lakes!
Some islands are big and some are small. If an island is very small, they are called: keys, cays, or islets. This is a cute way of saying: small island.
If there is a group of islands or a lot of them together, they are called an Archipelago. Does this name sound strange to you? Can you guess where it came from? This word is a geographic term, which means it is related to geography. And geography tells us where things are located on a map.
So this word: Archipelago comes from the Aegean Sea. Can you find this on a map? Ask your parent or a guardian to help you search if you are unable to find it on your own.
The word literally means: Chief Sea.
Not all islands are Archipelagos, but some of them are. Places like: Japan, the British Isles, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the Hawaiian Islands are Archipelagos.
