Card catalog description
Illustrations and simple text describe how green turtles migrate from their feeding grounds in order to lay eggs which will hatch into baby turtles.
Gr 1-3-Two titles that offer eye-catching but somewhat simplistic looks at animal migration. The large typeface and judicious layouts complement the colorful watercolor artwork. Physical appeal to the contrary, the texts leave something to be desired. In the first, readers are told in the introduction that green turtles live in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans but the map shows only the migration routes of Caribbean and South American greens. A good portion of the map is swallowed in the gutter, making Ascension Island appear to be a close companion to the Brazilian coast. Arriving at the "breeding ground," the female turtle lays her initial clutch of eggs at once but apparently does not "mate" until several pages later. No mention is made of egg predation, though the dangers faced by hatchlings are described. While the second book focuses on the California gray whale, the global migratory map is a confusing swirl of routes for grays, sperm, and humpbacks. The grays are described as krill eaters, while their favored eating style is bottom feeding. The introduction states that the whales migrate to warmer waters "in order to mate," but the warmer waters are primarily needed for the survival of newborn young. These pretty packages are disappointing on the inside.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
