"The information is interesting and authentic, and Gray's watercolor illustrations of the shoreline and the clumsy turtles and other wildlife are evocative and appealing." --Kirkus Reviews
Marion Coste describes the life cycle of the Hawaiian green sea turtle--from the emergence of the female from the water to scoop a nest in the sand, to the return of the hatchlings to the sea, to the perils of the feeding grounds, and return to the nesting beaches. The second part of the book provides further scientific information about the habitat, feeding habits, adaptations, and breeding cycle of the green turtle.
