{"product_id":"the-book-of-turtles","title":"The Book of Turtles","description":"**A SIBERT HONOR BOOK! **\n** A KIRKUS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR ** A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE OF THE YEAR **\nFrom National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestseller Sy Montgomery comes an ode to one of the most diverse, fascinating, and beloved species on the planet: turtles. With dazzling illustrations and emotionally engaging, fact-filled text, this picture book will speak to the wisdom these long-lived animals can lend.\nEveryone loves turtles. And no wonder: long-lived, unhurried, and ancient, these shelled reptiles are fascinating.\nTurtles are also endlessly surprising. There are turtles with soft shells, turtles with googly eyes, turtles with necks longer than their bodies, and turtles whose shells glow in the dark!\nAnd each turtle, of each of the more than 300 kinds, is an individual. You’ll meet some of them here: Lonesome George, the last of his kind on Earth. And Myrtle, the 90-year-old green sea turtle who has more than 7,000 followers on Facebook.\nWhat questions might you ask a turtle? You’ll find many of the answers in this gorgeous compendium—and perhaps be inspired to help at a time when these reptiles, who evolved at the same time as the dinosaurs, face the deadliest dangers of their more than 380-million-year history.\nRead more books by Sy Montgomery: Becoming a Good Creature The Magnificent Migration Condor Comeback The Hyena Scientist The Octopus Scientists The Great White Shark Scientist\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0358458072\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0358458072.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Montgomery, Sy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
