(4) K-3 Upon discovering Mossy, a turtle with a garden growing on her back, Dr. Carolina brings her to her museum. But Dr. Carolina's niece senses that Mossy misses pond life. The problem is solved too easily, but the illustrations offer a thrill akin to time travel: Brett's signature elaborate paintings capture Edwardian attire and natural elements in a crisp, woodsy palette.
