Content: G
This book concentrates
on the environmental issues that turtles populations are struggling with in the
United States. There is a plea for
humans to be careful with nature because it is destroying turtles natural
habitats. There are ideas on how we can
help the turtles by not collecting them as pets, racing them in turtle races,
keeping our animals on leashes while walking in nature, and building turtle
fences along the highways.
The text is
simple and the ideas are basic, but there are side bars with more information
about turtles and their habitats. The realistic
illustrations are beautiful and portray different kinds of turtles in different
habitats: desert, ponds and oceans. This
book would most likely appeal to the elementary crowd, but it could be a good
basic introduction for middle schools as well.
