Wait for the Turtles

The blog entry about our natural world was published BEFORE the turtle book showed up! We know turtles can move slowly, but they should have been worth my waiting for. Oh well, here it is–Of Time and Turtles

Need I say more? Probably not because many of the blog readers are already crazy about turtles. Sy Montgomery is a well-known naturalist and a gifted writer who fell in love with turtles after a visit to the Turtle Rescue League. The Turtle Rescue League is located in Massachusetts and deals primarily with land and pond turtles. Montgomery also visited sea turtle rescue centers. All turtles possess inate characteristics that humans would do well to emulate.

The above is a picture of Montgomery and Matt Patterson, the illustrator of the book.
