Synopsis
To lay eggs, a sea turtle swims thousands of miles to the beach where she was born. This long journey is fraught with danger. In many cases, the beaches are now full of hotels, people, and lights, which fool sea turtles into going the wrong way after they have laid their eggs. The journey of the hatchlings is even more harrowing, and very few make it to the ocean. In this fascinating book, children will learn about: - the different species of sea turtles, their bodies, life cycles, migration, behavior, and diets - why they are endangered - how people are helping themEditorials
Children's Literature
Children, and maybe adults, will pick up this attractive and interesting paperback immediately. It is good for research and for pleasure reading about sea turtles. The concise format contains a lot of information with plenty of photographs. There are little pullouts of turtle pictures and a turtle design across the top of the pages. The book covers the species of sea turtles, habitats, and life cycle. Predators, pollution, and fishing nets have reduced the sea turtle population. The book includes a glossary, an index, plus website suggestions for further research. This affordable book is part of the "Earth's Endangered Animals" series. 2004, Crabtree Publishing Company, Ages 8 to 10.—Naomi Butler
