It is nighttime on the beach. Out of the dark salt waters, a large creature emerges. She struggles across the sand, lays her eggs, then leaves them behind. The embryos develop and hatch into tiny turtles who must begin their own struggle to survive. This book tells the life-cycle story of the loggerhead sea turtle, whose patterns of existence evolved millions of years ago. Art: Watercolor pencils on colored paper. *“An excellent resource for introducing sea turtles and the beauty and order of the natural world.” Pre-K to Grade 5. 32 p. Full color art. Bantam Doubleday Dell, 1993. |
