This review is from: Honu (A Kolowalu Book) (Hardcover)
Marion Coste hit a home run with her book, Honu. "Honu" is the Hawaiian name for the green sea turtle, the theme of this book. Coste goes through the life cycle of this amazing animal, focusing on the Pacific green sea turtle resident to Hawaiian waters. Accompanied by Cissy Gray's illustrations, Coste provides a very accurate, yet readable, overview of honu reproduction, mortality factors, growth, and behavior. She notes assistance from Mr. Honu himself, George Balazs.
I use this book as my outline when I give presentations on sea turtles to school groups in grades 1-12, starting with the tale of the female honu searching for a place to lay her eggs. A very nice book, dedicated to "... the children of Hawai'i, who hold the future of the islands in their hands and hearts." |
