A PERFECT CHILDREN'S BOOK!
A wonderful little book with a sweet story of kindness to others - the illustrations accentuate the storyline perfectly! I highly recommend this book for your little ones. It will also make a terrific gift for new moms or moms-to-be.
Excellent work, S.A. Mahan!
Loved it! If I was still 3 years old
Loved it! If I was still 3 years old, this would be my favorite book and I would have my Mighty Manfred stuffed (toy) dog guard it with his life!
Adorable book about turtle birth
Momma turtle lays her eggs, they all hatch and head for the sea, that is, all but one. Can he get back to the safety of the ocean, NO WAIT, that's the wrong directions.
My toddler LOVED the pictures. I loved the amount of texture included on the illustrations as well as the story. I especially enjoyed the ending, reading it to my son, for the first time, it made me smile, I kissed my son and told him I would always be there for him. I'd say more, but I do not want to give away the whole story.
I highly recommend getting this in paperback, and not as an eBook. It's one you'll want to read again and again.
Delightful Nature Story
Winner of the Readerâs Favorite Five Star Seal and a finalist in Colorado Book Awards for Childrenâs Literature, The Baby Sea Turtle by S.A. Mahan is a delightful picture book. The text is easy to read, the art is pleasing to the eye, and there are even great messages.
In this short tale of about twenty pages, the rhyming text varies in length to make a fluent text. Some pages consist of simply one long sentence while others contain a few quick sentences. The word choices feel about right for the intended young audience, while also not being too simple. Concrete nouns, active verbs, and descriptive adjectives flow across the pages, providing a rich reading experience. My main complaint is that despite well-crafted rhymes, at times I donât feel as if the text contains much rhythm.
The plot structure works well too. Readers are immediately made aware that Mama Turtle will not only experience the special moment of birth, but she will also need to protect her eggs from dangers. The angst is not over yet either for, when the baby turtles crawl to the sea, one is left behind. To get home, this turtle now faces a few adventures. How he ends up on a busy street, Iâm not sure, but I appreciate how his rescue happens.
Artwork was created by nationally known artist Deborah Mahan, who beautifully brings this nature story to life. A variety of soft green-hued and purple-hued backgrounds create engaging spreads. Expressions of the turtles are endearing and realistic. Many other details fill the landscape too, such as pebbles, starfish, water droplets, tracks, along with the moon at night and the sun by day.
Finally, there are the positive and subtle messages. In focusing on just one turtle family, and in providing through information through the plot structure only about how turtles lay their eggs, Mahan has indirectly created a picture book that should encourage appreciation of nature. Also, in its conclusion, lay other messages such as be kind and family is love.
