The text in Sea Turtles contains many informative and easily read facts.  Words to know are in red and, although in the glossary, are often explained on the page.  The seven species of sea turtles are presented with clear, colorful photographs.  Occasional Fun Fact boxes provide additional information.  Physical characteristics, diet, habitat, behaviors, and distribution are described.  Other land turtles and tortoises are briefly mentioned.  Although sea turtles have been around more than 200 million years, their future is at risk without appropriate assistance from humans.  Global warming, lost habitats, and pollution are the biggest threats.  A map illustrating the range of sea turtle habitats is included in the back with the glossary, index, and sites to access additional facts for sea turtles, turtles, Galapagos turtles, fossils, and reptiles.  Citation information for these resources are also included.
