Turtles are found on every continent EXCEPT Antarctica. But not for long!
When a David Attenborough-esque narrator explains that turtles are found everywhere except Antarctica, one determined turtle sets out to prove him wrong. After recruiting other non-Antarctic animals along the way, much to the narrator’s dismay, the turtle and his adventurous friends travel through fields and forests and cross an entire ocean to reach their goal.
This is such a fascinating little book. What a fun way to learn about animal habitats and the continent of Antarctica.
According to the narrator, this is supposed to be a book of animal facts, but the animals have other ideas.
This book is both fiction and non-fiction. The story itself is a work of fiction, but the animal facts mentioned are true. The real facts are featured at the end of the book, including facts about each featured animal. I particularly loved the information on Antarctica and the map of where all the research stations are located.
