Box Turtle at Long Pond,
By A Customer
This review is from: Box Turtle at Long Pond (Hardcover)
Box Turtle at Long Pond is a rarity among children's books - it contains accurate information! It is very refreshing to read a book to children that portrays wildlife in a natural setting rather than wearing clothes, driving cars, etc. Bravo to the authors for combining their artistic and creative talents to create such a treasure. If only other authors would follow in their example. (This book also contains beautiful illustrations!)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Naturalistic Observation in Narrative Form,
By Shanna A. Gonzalez "eyelevelbooks.com" (Gaithersburg, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Box Turtle at Long Pond (Paperback)
This book tells the story of one day in the life of a box turtle as he searches for food and interacts with other animals (one of which tries to eat him.) It is a naturalistic story, not anthropomorphized, and the carefully crafted text draws the reader into the animals moment-by-moment experience, and Lindsay George's beautiful realistic illustrations capture the turtle's movements and personality well.
The best way to observe a turtle is sitting or lying quietly outdoors, watching it in person. But this book isn't a bad runner-up to that ideal. |
