The line drawings in Turtle Tidbits will pull you right into the pond; giving you an up-close and personal look at these amazing creatures. The dense, intricate artwork is lovingly crafted by Barbara Scherek, Jr.; clearly the turtle's biggest fan. Kids can spend hours coloring the detail while absorbing scientific facts tucked cleverly into rhyming verse. An incredible teaching tool that will have children embracing these beautiful animals as they learn directly from their heart centers. A must for the science classroom."

5.0 out of 5 stars Turtle Tidbits, Magically Entertaining, August 22, 2004

This review is from: Turtle Tidbits: A Rhyming Educational Coloring Book (Spiral-bound)

With masterfully detailed artwork, "Turtle Tidbits: A Rhyming Educational Story Coloring Book," is a book about having an imagination. The rhyming scheme is playful, yet informative, and easily captures the attention of any participant fond of being creative. Today with an abundance of technological advances that don't allow individuals to experience an activity hands on, an old fashioned past time of coloring on the floor is introduced once again. Amongst the collage of aquatic activity on every page, the excitement of bringing to life the pages with color is enticing. This book is an experience that parents and kids can share with each other at bedtime, quiet time, in the car, or any time at all.
