DESCRIPTION:
An educational supplement is included in the back of the book which includes teaching trivia, conservation issues, a make-your-own sea turtle craft, and sea turtle math games.. Follow the photographic journal of Carolina, a critically ill loggerhead sea turtle, as she is nursed back to health at the Sea Turtle Hospital of the South Carolina Aquarium. She has blood drawn, x-rays taken, gets shots, and is hydrated through an IV just as ill children may be! Join her as she interacts with her many caregivers and her sick or injured roommate turtles. Celebrate the happy day she is released back into the open ocean a healthy and happy turtle. When she first arrives at the hospital, she is too sick, weak, and confused to understand what is happening.
From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1–A photographic journal of the rescue and rehabilitation of an ailing female loggerhead turtle. The simple text is highly anthropomorphic (Carolina feels better when she sees another ill turtle; upon release, she is thankful to all the people who had helped her when she was sick, etc.), but it will appeal to its intended audience. Close-up color photos record Carolina's arrival at the Sea Turtle Hospital, her medical treatment, and the efforts of staff and volunteers to get her back on her flippers and seaworthy. Similar to (but far simpler than) Kathryn Lasky's richer Interrupted Journey (Candlewick 2001), Rathmell's book will find eager readers and perhaps boost their empathy level.–Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NYCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
