Turtle Spring

32 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-883672-53-8
(4) K-3 Summer brings Clee a new brother and a turtle from her uncle. In fall, her father goes away to work, but the turtle keeps her company until the frosty day she forgets him outside. After a sad, lonely winter, she's overjoyed to see her turtle emerge from the spring-warmed compost heap. At times the text is forced, but the busy watercolors effectively chart the turning of the seasons above and below ground. An author's note about hibernation is included.
