Explore coral reefs to study green sea turtles in this beautiful
nonfiction field guide for kids. You might know that green sea
turtles have incredible shells, but there’s so much more to learn
about these underwater marvels! Turn the pages to find out how
green sea turtles keep seagrass beds healthy by “mowing” them,
and how some species of fish like to hitch a ride on their shells.
You’ll also witness the amazing egg hatching frenzy that
occurs—when baby turtles have to make a mad dash from the beach
to the safety of the sea. Filled with simple science and plenty of
animal facts, this book also looks at the conservation challenges
these endangered animals face due to climate change, poaching and
plastic pollution. Written by marine biologist Carlee Jackson and
featuring stunning illustrations by Daniel Rieley, Green Sea Turtle
(Young Zoologist) is part of an exciting series of animal books
from Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists
and conservationists.
