This is a great nonfiction narrative about box turtles. The George's worked wonderfully together and this text is one that a reader can appreciate for both its illustrations and its text. Great book.

A wonderful spotlight on the box turtle.
LibraryThing member wichitafriendsschool
The Georges follow one animal's odyssey from the beginning of his day until the end. Accurate, lyrical, and superbly detailed, this book ensures Long Pond as a favorite spot on every child's itinerary. Beautiful, lifelike illustrations will capture young readers.
