Turtles in My Sandbox

32 pp. | Sylvan Dell | November, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-9768823-7-X $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Emanuel Schongut. When Mama Turtle lays her eggs in Maggie's sandbox, Maggie and her mom devote themselves to caring for the turtles until they are old enough to release. Maggie, the story itself, and the gentle illustrations are largely vehicles for information about the turtles, their habits, and the need to protect diamondback terrapins. The last pages feature turtle facts and crafts.
