This is an interesting book that shows us the daily life of a box turtle. The book starts out with how the box turtle gets out of his shell, searches for food, hides when there is danger, etc. The book provides information on Box Turtles, while providing somewhat of a story to it. Meaning that there is not constant information, but enough to teach us why the Box Turtle is doing what he is doing. I think this would be a great book to read in a classroom setting to teach students a little about Box Turtles. I think this book can be used as an introduction on the subject. The illustrations are detailed enough to show us what is going on, the language is easy to follow, and the information is beneficial. Overall I think it is a pretty good book.… (meer)
