Turtle Beach: Band 09/Gold (Collins Big Cat)

by (author) Barbara Arrindell, Illustrated by  Zavian Archibald

Book banded for guided and independent reading, there are reading notes in the back, comprehensive teaching and assessment support and ebooks available.

A young girl is excited to be going to a restaurant to celebrate her birthday with her parents. While she’s there, she sees baby turtles trying to find their way to the ocean. It’s a magical event to witness, but she also learns how humans can interfere with the journey of the hatchlings and why they need to take actions to help them reach the water.
This beautifully illustrated book is a story that raises awareness of how simple acts can impact vulnerable creatures like turtles. While this is a story set in the Caribbean, it’s one that goes beyond the Caribbean and highlights environmental issues of interest to everyone.
