Good for beginner

This book is really good for beginner. The high quality picture significantly pushing me to own a tortoise.Clear and straightforward presentation for easy understand, although your are very beginner, you can successfully get the basic knowledge.However, you cannot find detail information in this book because it gives general information only. Actually, if you already feed your tortoise more than half year, then this book is not suitable to you.

A turtle book apparently by a turtle enthusiast

I've read a lot of turtle care books, and this is one of my faves! It's very colorful and entertaining. The author knows his subject and is passionate about it. The guide to reading a turtle's body language was really unique. It was like someone else finally realized there was so much more to keeping turtles as pets. :)

This inexpensive book is informative and enjoyable.

An illustration is worth a thousand words and the combination of pictures, illustrations and practical knowledge makes this an excellent book for both the new pet owner and serious hobbyists.I recommend books to new pet owners on a regular basis at our web site. Hartmut Wilke's books are amoung our favorite suggested references for general care. This book is no exception.
