In Turtles, early readers will learn how to care for a pet turtle and find out what it needs in its tank. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage emergent readers as they discover what it takes to be a pet owner. A labeled diagram helps readers understand what a turtle needs, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about pet turtles online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Turtles also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index. Turtles is part of Jump! s My First Pet series.
