faces, and the snug details of the home (and eventual town) they
create on the turtle's back will pique the interest of youthful
viewers. . . . [S]it back and enjoy this whimsical, watery
world."--BCCB "A sweet, fantastic depiction of community
building."--Kirkus "Sherry uses brilliant, speckled watercolor
washes for the ocean and sky, while the creatures are rendered in

eyes. Lovable Turtle and his happy, friend-filled future will
likely strike a chord with little ones feeling lonely."--Booklist
