Toby by Stacy Nyikos
and Illustrated by Shawn Sisneros
Meet Toby, a baby sea turtle that has just hatched from his
little egg. He is ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime into the vast ocean.
How will Toby learn the difference between his predators and his friends? Written
in rhyming verse, this sweet story shows the tale of a baby turtle and his many
adventures on land and sea.
Come outside and feel the breezes!
Come outside and see the sun!
Come outside and taste the ocean!
Come outside with everyone!
Toby is digitally illustrated with expressive and colorful
full pages spreads. The illustrations truly capture the emotions of this
adorable little turtle with his big inquisitive eyes and his happy personality.
This story is complete with an Author’s note at the back of
the book, which includes turtle facts. The author has also included a list of
several great non-fiction books about sea turtles for those little inquisitive
minds that might just want more.
A sweet story recommended for ages 4-8.
