Turtle Summer: A Journal for my Daughter

An intimate look at loggerhead turtles and the seashore

Turtle Summer, a Journal for my Daughter This book presents a charming idea for a parent and child: to keep a nature scrapbook. Mary Alice Monroe has written and illustrated this enchanting journal of a mother and daughter¿s summer surveillance for loggerhead sea turtles on their beach. While watching the turtle nests, they observe and sketch nature¿s other offerings at the seashore. Like a family photo album, it is an intimate book. Photographer Barbara J. Bergwerf teamed with Mary Alice Monroe to add exceptional and informative photos, including one of Carolina from the previous Sylvan Dell book, Carolina¿s Story: Sea Turtle¿s Get Sick Too! This is a splendid mixture of photos, drawing, and text. Children, ages 4 ¿ 9 will relate to this book and its activities, hopefully clamoring to create a similar journal with their siblings and parents.
