Book Description

Publication Date: November 17, 2005 | Series: For the Love of Animals

Turtles that are well cared for will generally live for a very long time and become virtually life-long companions. Here is advice on proper housing, feeding, protection against disease and parasites, and most important—understanding your pet turtle. Books in this series are written especially for inexperienced pet owners, for parents whose kids would like to have a pet, and for kids who simply want to learn more about animals that make good pets. Boys and girls are also introduced to the golden rules of pet care, and are advised on how to create affection and trust between themselves and their pets. Several gatefold pages in each book open wide to display attractive photo essays on animals and their care. Every book in this series contains approximately 80 full-color, high-quality photos, as well as instructive drawings.

Wilke is my all-time favorite author on the subject of turtle care. This book is lovely! There are colorful graphics and wonderful photos. The information is clear and not at all preachy. It is a great book for beginners and seasoned turtle enthusiasts. it offers simple care instructions for the beginner, as well as tips on how to get to know your turtle better. There are even a few tips on training your turtle and developing trust between a turtle and its keeper.
