Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-These books open with a description of the animal or insect, followed by a discussion of the meaning of the term "life cycle." Then, life stages are highlighted and clearly explained scientifically. How humans are adversely affecting the creatures' lives and what students can do about it are also discussed. An abundance of clear, colorful, attractively bordered photographs and illustrations enhance the fact-filled texts. These well-written titles will be used for research and pleasure reading.

This review is from: Sea Turtle (Life Cycle of A...) (Paperback)

I bought this book so that my grandchildren (ages 4 and 5) could learn about sea turtles. I had been to see sea turtles lay eggs on the beach in Florida and had bought them an "egg to hatch." They were so interested in the process that learning about them became almost an obsession with the 5-year old! She could not seem to get enough of reading this book with me and insisted on sharing information from it with her brother and her friends. She then became interested in pollution of the oceans and was very affected by a photo of a sea turtle that had been harmed by pollution. This has made her very aware of the need to learn about her environment and keep from damaging it. Of course, she is naive enough to think that people pollute the ocean because "they just don't understand that it hurts the animals" She'll learn the truth soon enough, I'm afraid! Meanwhile, this book with its information and great pictures has turned my granddaughter into a conservation minded child. I will move on from here and help her learn about other aspects of the environment. The reading/understanding level is appropriate for children ages 4-12 depending on interest and also on how much input they get from the adults around them. Definitely a worthwhile book for your child or grandchild!
