Turtles / Tortugas

The most dangerous swim of a sea turtle's life is its first, a race from egg to ocean that very few survive. Through the use of accessible text presented in both English and standard Latin-American Spanish, readers take an exciting look at the life cycle of the ocean's most unique swimmer. A picture glossary helps beginning readers strengthen their vocabulary skills, and vibrant, full-color photographs shows how these animals make a home-both under and above-the waves.
