1.) No awards.
2.) Appropriate grade levels: 1st-2nd grade
3.) Original 3 line summary: This is an informational text all about many different turtles. This book covers what turtles eat, where they live, and what their shells are made of. This text also describes the various stages in a turtle's life.
4.)Original 3 line review: I really liked how this book has actual photographs of various turtles. I also liked how the author included a "Learn More" page in the book that offers more books and online sources for further research.
5.) One possible in class use: One possible in class use for this book would be having students draw their favorite turtle and write two facts that they learned from the book.

They were incorrect in saying a turtles shell is made of bone, as the outer layer is made of keratin. Good facts and pictures overall.
