Review
With delightful illustrations of flippers gliding through the salty air and a warm story line with the moon sparkling above, we have a very educational and entertaining book for young families. The repetition of the rhyme will draw you in with this sweet, comforting story telling. I love this one and recommend to friends with little ones.
5/5 stars

About the Author
Stephanie Lisa Tara credits an overactive imagination for her whimsical, story-verse style. As a child, Stephanie transformed people and pets into animated personalities through fanciful lyrical rhymes. No one was safe! Stephanie earned a B.A. in English literature and poetry at the University of Connecticut. She spent the next ten years writing ad copy in Manhattan. After the birth of her daughter, Madeline, Stephanie decided to focus on her passion--children's verse, which she deeply believes has the inherent power to charm, inspire, and teach children and adults alike. Tying verse together with insight means magic for Stephanie. Her work is inspired by literature's lauded children's authors--from Grimm to Lear to Seuss.
The book won a Chocolate Lily Award (2007) and Mom's Choice Awards (2007)
I love sea turtles... do you? Have a great weekend, everyone!
