The Lighthouse Family: The Turtle

48 pp. | Simon | March, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-689-86244-X $14.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Preston McDaniels. In this fourth book about the unlikely family of dog, cat, and three mice tending a lighthouse, a sea turtle washes ashore in a thick fog. The animals devise a plan for several pelicans to fly the turtle to more hospitable waters. Illustrated with detailed graphite art, this episode is shorter in page count, details, and plot than the previous stories.
