(3) K-3 Translated by David Henry Wilson. A green sea turtle travels thousands of miles over twenty years before returning to her birthplace off the northeastern coast of Australia to lay eggs. Clear mixed-media illustrations show the turtle's underwater habitat; the straightforward text discusses behavior, diet, and life cycle. Fish, seaweed, octopus, dugongs, and other marine life are well labeled. Back matter includes information about turtle species worldwide.
