The Voyage of Turtle Rex

40 pp. | Harcourt | April, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-42924-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 A turtle hatchling wriggles free of her egg, makes her way toward open water, and hides in seaweed and sand "for a long, long while" until she has matured and instinct drives her back to her birthplace. With graceful rhyming text and expansive illustrations rich in color and texture, this story of the prehistoric archelon is adroitly presented. An author's note is appended.
