One Tiny Turtle: Read and Wonder Paperback – Picture Book, June 14, 2005

I love all the learning that takes place in this engaging book. So much to learn about turtles and genre writing. Fun read!

What a wonderful deal!I found this book on sale, and I was so impressed. This is a large book, suitable for read-alouds, with beautiful illustrations. The underwater colors sweep across every page and the text flows like waves.The book is packed full of information about sea turtles in a charming story. The book is realistic, mentioning that most of the sea turtles don't make it (and describing some of the challenges), but the author mentions these tactfully and doesn't dwell on the fact that many "tiny turtles" die.As a bonus, the book comes with an audio CD and has become a favorite at the Listening station in my classroom.

Great classroom book for teaching how to organize information.

This book is so well written for children. I love the beautiful illustrations. And I appreciate that the author effectively explained sea turtle nesting accurately, but was able to write it in such a way that my 5 year old can understand. He really enjoys reading this with me & it always opens up the communication for him to ask me more questions about sea turtles & what we’ve read. Highly recommend.

We live near the beach and took our 4 year old daughter to a turtle excavation on the beach. She was fascinated with turtles and asked so many questions that we could not answer. This book is PERFECT for educating young children (and adults as well!!) about turtle life. The story is sweet and the illustrations are great. My daughter asks us to read this OVER and OVER again and we enjoy it as much as she does!

Like the story; great information for young children.

My son loves turtles and books, he loved this gift.

Very cute book for any turtle lovers in the family, whether young or old. Beautiful illustrations on every page. It gives you some information about turtles while still having a short story.
