Thoughts: My son love sea creatures and books about them, so he loves this book. I on the other hand am bothered by it. It changes style between 1st and 3rd person after 2 pages. And the information is presented in a really clunky way. The info is there but I really feel it could have been presented in a more entertaining and clear way. If your kid loves sea creatures as much as mine does then this may be worth the adult torture, if not don't waste your time.

This was very creatively written and contains interesting information on ocean life. It is educational, colorful and a sure "hit" with children. This is a great reading book for early elementary...Perfect for story time or for Summer Reading Programs!

The illustrations by Jennifer Wallis were very well done and outstandingly colorful.

The Title states it all. The book cover is equally well done and wonderfully eye-catching!

The review of this book can not be lass than a Five Stars rating.

This book is an improvement in artwork, writing style, and presentation than many others in the Kindle free store--however, the author could have incorporated the educational aspects of this book in a way that was a little less dry and rote. As such, the green turtle speaks about himself in a way that reads like an encyclopedia entry.

The author also missed an opportunity to educate children upon the ways in which humans have endangered sea turtles, and ways they can help.
