Books: Taking Turns With Turtles: A Rescue Story

HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO RESCUE A TURTLE?

One chilly morning in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a child and their parents wake up early to search the beach for cold-stunned turtles. When they find one, they keep it warm and safe until another rescuer can bring it to a rehabilitation center. From there, more volunteers and scientists work together to help the turtle recover. A volunteer pilot even flies the turtle south to a warmer beach. At last, a parent and child place the turtle in the ocean and watch it swim away as a crowd of cheering volunteers look on.

Includes back matter with information about different turtle species, how turtles become cold-stunned and how to help them.
