I've always thought sea turtles were pretty, but had no idea they could swim as fast as 20 mph and hold their breath for as long as five hours.  I also didn't know they are the only turtles that can't retract their head and legs into their shell.It was great to discover the differences between the different types of sea turtles, too.  Lots of interesting facts about these important sea creatures, illustrated with gorgeous photos.  Highly recommended (as are all of Lynn Simone's books).
