This is a great book for homeschoolers studying sea turtles. The pictures of the different kinds of turtles are very nice. It would also work well to read before or after a trip to the zoo or aquarium (if your local zoo or aquarium has sea turtles) or before visiting beaches with turtle nests and turtle patrol. I'm in Florida so turtle nests are common and the kids are always curious about them and why they have to stay away. There are also local turtle patrols and turtle release days here where the public can watch the baby sea turtles go out to sea. This book would accompany any of those educational activities well. It is also great for kid's that are curious about turtles. A 5 year old would be interested in the pictures, but this is more of an elementary-level fact book.
