Customer Reviews

Excellent

Excellent, informative read about a sea turtle's life from birth to giving birth as an adult turtle. Great pictures!

Beautiful artwork

I love this book! The beautiful illustrations will enchant children and adults alike and are sure to spark a young reader's interest in sea turtle conservation. The text itself is an enjoyable read that still manages to remain factual and informative.

Delightful for children--and adults!

The artwork lured me to this book. Each page has a marvelous rendition of a sea turtle's nesting saga. The storytelling is accurate but lyrical so even the youngest children will be captivated. I highly recommend it for parents and grandparents to give to the children they love--especially if you're headed for the beach!

Kudos from my Grandson

My grandson, Cameron Howard, has checked this book out from the library on numerous ocassions. Despite his generally responsible attitude toward returning books in a timely manner, he just can't get this book back when it's due. Why? Because he is busy reading and re-reading the book. He is captovated by the pictures. He is infactuated with the text and dazzled by the illustrations. He called me up to see if I could get him this book. This seven year old made sure I knew the exact spelling of the author's name and the illustrator's name! It's a hit among the 7 year old crowd!
