WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "I could see this picture book being read by fourth graders through middle school. It would fit thematic units...the human interest, environmental protection, and character determination put it in another category - Protectors of the Earth...Papa Tortuga’s ideology is inspirational, and environmental protection is an important concept for our young people." - Mark Rosenberg, Retired Public School Teacher, Pennsylvania
