One Tiny Turtle
Far, far out at sea lives one of the world's most mysterious creatures, the loggerhead turtle. For thirty years she swims the oceans, wandering thousands of miles as she searches for food. Until, one summer night, she lands on a beach to lay her eggs--the very same beach where she herself was born. Nicola Davies's lyrical text offers fascinating information about the journey of the tiny, endangered loggerhead, while charming paintings by Jane Chapman vivdly illustrate one turtle's journey.
Out of the Ocean
A young girl and her mother walk along the beach and marvel at the treasures cast up by the sea and the wonders of the world around them.
Penguin Chick (Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science series)
Antarctic light radiates through this delightfully illustrated account of a penguin chick’s life. From nesting and egg laying to adulthood, where the cycle begins again, the author explores the life of a penguin chick in a harsh environment. A "More About Penguins" section at the back of the book describes different penguin species and suggests activities for the reader.
Plant and Animal Partners
This book is about the co-dependant relationship or partnership between some plants and animals. The book covers relationships found in the grasslands of Africa, the rainforests of South America, and undersea coral reefs.
Prince William
Denny rescues a baby seal caught in an oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska. She takes the seal—whom she names Prince William—to an emergency animal rescue facility, where he, with hundreds of other animals, is cared for and cleaned of oil. Denny follows his progress for weeks, until Prince William is ready to return to the sea. The story is based upon actual events and brings home the suffering experienced by wildlife. The reader can see, in both text and illustrations, the ecological impact of oil spills, and the effort involved in attempting to restore the damage.
Sea Turtles

She provides general information about this reptile family (including notable body characteristics, life cycle, and adaptations to life in salt water) and describes eight specific kinds of sea turtles. For each, she explains distinguishing features, diet, habitat, and size. She also discusses the problems of turtle survival and efforts by humans to protect these fascinating creatures.
