The story of a sea turtle from hatchling to adult. Includes information about how to help and protect sea turtles.

Beautiful illustrations with really good information about sea turtles. At times the text is too wordy for the target age group of 4-8. Some might find the pictures of mating turtles to not be appropriate for young readers. Includes additional information about sea turtles in the back matter.
