Synopsis:

Tortoises and turtles may look alike, but they are VERY different! Look inside to learn the differences and many interesting facts.

Review:

To the casual observer, turtles and tortoises appear to share so many similarities that we often use the names "turtle" and "tortoise" interchangeably. But the fact is that they couldn't be more different, says Elaine Powers, whose charming picture book employs clever rhymes and colorful illustrations to demonstrate why the two should never be confused. To begin with, while some turtles were built to paddle around in the water, she says, tortoises were not - throw a tortoise in the water, and he'll drown. And that's just the beginning of her lesson about these special -- and very distinctive -- reptiles, a lesson sure to fascinate junior naturalists and animal lovers. Powers, who is a biologist and a scriptwriter, lives in Tucson. - Arizona Daily Star, Jan 2, 2016
