Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Children's book illustrator Tara McMillen seamlessly collaborates with children's book author Sara Ann Denson in "Christmas Turtles", a gentle picturebook story showcasing the love a grandmother has for her grandchildren through a shared celebratory experience. "Christmas Turtles" is a wonderful addition to the growing library of Christmas themed picturebooks that can be read and enjoyed all year long! --Midwest Book Review, 2006
This is a very simple book and its lesson is clear the greatest joy of all is the one from the heart. Adding the recipe at the end was brilliant, because it takes a special story about others and allows the readers to adopt it themselves. The colorful patterns of the artwork are quite merry. This is a worthwhile book for your children, particularly around Christmastime. --Tickle Bugs, 2006
Traditions are what make holidays extra special. Christmas Turtles is a heartwarming story about a grandmother's yummy tradition at Christmas. Soft colored penciled illustrations gives this book a warm feeling. This book would be a great way to start your own Christmas tradition too! --Wee Ones Magazine, 2006

5.0 out of 5 stars
A delight for the family to share as the holiday season approaches,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christmas Turtles (Hardcover)
Written by award-winning author Sara Ann Denson and illustrated by Tara McMillen, Christmas Turtles is a picturebook not about live turtles, but rather about a tasty Christmas candy treat made of pecans and chocolate - and the years of tradition that go behind making and sharing it. Written to be read aloud, or for children who are just old enough to be on the cusp of graduating from picture books to chapter books, Christmas Turtles is a delight for the family to share as the holiday season approaches. The final page gives the recipe for making Christmas Turtles in one's own kitchen.

This review is from: Christmas Turtles (Hardcover)
This is an endearing story about a grandmother's love for her family. This book is not only appropriate for grandmothers and grandchildren but also, aunts, uncles, parents, older siblings or anyone who makes sacrifices to show the love they hold for others. We can all relate to this book. What a "sweet" story!

This review is from: Christmas Turtles (Hardcover)
Christmas Turtles takes you back to the smells, sights and sounds of Grandma's kitchen. I was immediately transported back to the warmth and love my grandma shared with me through her holiday cooking.
