I found this to be very engaging.  I enjoyed the countdown from 10 to 1 as to why the author finds turtles awesome, except for number 1.  (I found it cheesey and it didn't add to turtle knowledge, it was about loving turtles)This book gives 9 great reasons why turtles are awesome, within those points the author gives extra related information. (and 1 uninformative reason)Every page has bright, crisp, clear photographs, except for the pages with the reason and reason number (these were blah). The book cover photograph does not represent the quality of photos inside, in fact it is a cropped portion of one of the photos.  Inside, the photographs show a variety of different types of turtles in different places and situations.  The actual photographs usually cover a third of the page while the illustrations/borders/wording covers the full page minus margins. (There isn't much white space on a page.) A factoid accompanies each photograph.Although this is not a comprehensive book on turtles, it is an engaging bright book that is great for introducing turtles to preschool children.I recommend this picture book.
