Summary
Turtle, Turtle, Watch Out!
When Turtle is just an egg buried in sand, hungry raccoons try to dig her up. Turtle, Turtle, Watch Out! But a child scares them away and puts wire mesh over the nest to protect the eggs. As Turtle hatches, scurries to sea, grows up, and becomes a mother turtle returning to the same beach to lay her own eggs, numerous dangers threaten her. Sometimes she escapes through her own efforts, and sometimes she needs the help of human hands. This exciting story vividly describes the life cycle of a sea turtle and the ways we can help these endangered animals survive. Rich artwork and a dramatic read-aloud text make it a tale that will keep children on the edge of their seats.
