Ocean Commotion: Sea Turtles

Mason brings the amazing loggerhead sea turtle to life through gorgeous illustrations and informative text. I was fascinated by the sea turtle's perilous twenty-five year journey from hatchling to adult, as it travels from Florida to the Azores and back. Through stunning illustrations of life in the sea along with a detailed description of this trip, Mason captures all aspects of this endangered species. The book has a glossary and a ton of facts on the front and back pages. I feel like an authority on the sea turtle having read Ocean Commotion and will read it again and again.

This is a must-have. Not only does it carry a wonderful message about the fascinating life cycle of sea turtles, but the illustrations are fine art quality and can be appreciated by adults and children alike. Reminiscent of the film March of the Penguins, this is a powerful story about nature, survival and the beauty of life under the sea.

How exciting to find a beautiful and informative non-fiction book that is also a joy to read! I love this book, which is chock-full of glorious color, swirling movement, superb illustrations, and hold-your-breath adventure. It is rare to find a talented illustrator who is also a superb writer. Janeen Mason is both. I'm sure you will agree as she takes you on the picture book ride of your life in Ocean Commotion: Sea Turtles. Yes, there are already many books out there that tell the story of sea turtles, but I have no hesitation in saying that this is the BEST--a definite "don't miss" visual treat.
