...from Sue Bangert-Wood, author of Chances Are (Guardian Angel Publishing) and Deb Gardner Allard, author of Baby Poopsie Loves Ears (Guardian Angel Publishing) Tamara Turtle's Life So Far is a charming book with a good lesson to learn. This book would be a great read for children who are getting their first pet turtle; or any first pet. It's a lesson of responsibility and love. This would be a great addition to any library. —Sue Bangert-Wood I am a total fan of this book! So often children beg for pets they know nothing about. The result is often abandoned or neglected pets. Tamara Turtle's Life so Far is a story that shows what often happens to pet store turtles. If only children and their parents fully understood the care and needs of this species, they might take better care of their precious purchase. I highly recommend this book to pet stores, other places that sell Red-eared Slider Turtles, and also to elementary schools, so that children might read about this type of pet. Children will enjoy the spot on illustrations. I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. —Deb Gardner Allard

I loved this book. It's not only good for children but it's a great start for parents looking at getting their children a turtle as a pet. I frequently get messages from parents that have great intentions but no clue what they are getting involved in or messages from parents that have gotten a turtle as a pet for their kid and the kid moved away leaving the turtle behind and now they don't want it. This story needs to be shared everywhere, especially in elementary schools. It will definitely help people see some of the issues turtle's face in the pet trade. Leave a Reply. |
