Box Turtle at Silver Pond Lane

32 pp. | Soundprints | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 1-56899-860-0 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Smithsonian's Backyard series. Illustrated by Stephen Marchesi. Framed as a story but lacking narrative vigor, this text describes a box turtle's day as she looks for food, takes refuge from the midday sun, finds a safe nesting spot, and lays her eggs. The accompanying illustrations are awash with painterly texture, realistic detail, and rich earth tones. Additional facts about box turtles are appended. Glos.
Reviewer: Erica L. Stahler
