The facts were presented in an interesting way. The photography is excellent. I found myself rooting for the tiny turtles as they attempted to make their way out to sea. It was sad to find out that many never make it. I like the “Did You Know?” section at the end of the book, giving additional interesting sea turtle facts. There is also a page giving short biographies of the author and photographer of this book. All in all, it was very enlightening.
