Illustrated by
Annie Patterson.
Very few sea turtles survive to adulthood. This book's turtle is one of the fortunate ones, thanks to the assistance of volunteers who protect turtle nests and keep hatchlings safe. Readers will be drawn in by Turtle's newborn awkwardness, captured adroitly by Patterson's new softly colored realistic illustrations, and will rally to the cause through the text's repeated use of the title warning.
