This is the first publication to extensively document the natural history of the Caribbean's largest, most diverse tropical island and archipelago. Cuba's remarkable number of endemic species - including the world's smallest bird, the bee hummingbird, minute frogs and boas, magnificent painted land snails, rare butterflies and orchids - contribute to the importance and beauty of Cuba and her rich fauna and flora depicted here.

The coquí is a famous and very abundant little frog whose powerful voice fills the Puerto Rican nights. The island is home to over a dozen other species of tiny and beautiful frogs, and hundreds and hundreds of species of insects, snails, lizards and birds, many of which live nowhere else in the world. 
Here you will learn about the ways and lives of Puerto Rican animals, about how they came to exist, and why they are unique. You will also find out how these wonderful creatures depend upon the plants and upon each other; and what benefits bacteria, fungi and termites give to the forest. Many of these creatures appear photographed here for the first time. Written in Spanish-English bilingual parallel text for adults and young adults and illustrated with 75 color photographs and two drawings, the book is fully indexed and includes scientific names. 
 El coquí, la famosa y abundante ranita que llena de tantos sonidos la noche puertorriqueña, tiene en la isla más de una decena de hermanos y hermanas, saltarines y también cantores. Los acompañan en los bosques infinidad de insectos, milpiés, caracoles, lagartos y aves, buena parte de los cuales no viven en ningún otro lugar del mundo. 
Aquí descubrirás un buen número de animales nativos de Puerto Rico, y aprenderás acerca de sus costumbres y formas de vida, de su origen, y de por qué son únicos en el planeta. Aprenderás cómo los animales dependen de las plantas, y también unos de otros; y qué beneficio brindan al bosque las bacterias, hongos y comejenes. Muchas de estas críaturas aparecen aquí fotografiadas por vez primera. Incluidas 75 fotgrafías a color, 2 ilustraciones, nombres científicos, e índice.
