5.0 out of 5 stars Marie and Her Friend the Sea Turtle, June 20, 2009

By	Donna M. McDine - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The wonder and beauty of the ocean draws Marie to the beach each day in the hunt for the perfect seashell. Her adventures bring her to the best location on the island. Delighted to catch a glimmer in the distance, Marie rushes to retrieve what she believes will be the most beautiful seashell ever. To her surprise she finds a stranded sea turtle, who oddly enough communicates his frustration of being stuck on the beach. With love and determination Marie seeks a way to release the sea turtle back to his home in the ocean.

Written in English, French, and Spanish children's author, Nicole Weaver reaches many cultures and pulls at children's hearts in their love and wonderment of the world around them. Illustrator, Ruben Chavez further brings the story alive with his colorful illustrations which certainly will make the reader yearn for their own beach adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a unique book!, June 2, 2009

By	Sue L. Toussaint "stou75" (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a well written, unique, children's book. My daughter was most interested in the illustrations, which are beautiful. I really enjoy how the different languages are written on each page to allow for bilingual and trilingual children to read all of the translations as they are reading the book. It is a fun book to read, both my seven year old and my two year old were engaged by it.
