The Magic Sea Turtle by Kathleen Welton

-
Thank you for joining me and The Children's Book Review in partnership with Kathleen Welton for the virtual book tour for The Magic Sea Turtle. Just looking at this book makes me happy as you can't help but smile when you see a smiling sea turtle!


About the Book:

Once upon a time, Myrtle chased her dreams–dreams of being a queen with a crown that sparkled like the moon. One day, she tumbles down, down, down into the sea. Max helps rescue her and a magic carpet flies her to a place even more amazing than her sandcastle dreams and she discovers an entire ocean of possibilities! There are dolphins who welcome her and a friendly otter with the biggest smile. They can teach her to swim and enjoy the day. Another magical glow surrounds Myrtle when she decides to stay and wishes to be a sea turtle like Max.

And guess what? Myrtle’s fall may have been unexpected, but thanks to a touch of magic, it leads her to a place where her wishes come true. Myrtle becomes a queen AND a magic sea turtle too, ready for incredible adventures! Myrtle the Turtle learns that being a queen means having the best friends ever. And with her sparkly crown and a heart full of joy, she is the happiest queen the whole ocean has ever seen!

 

Review:

This book is so cute that I want to read it over and over. The illustrations are beyond perfect for this book showing the characters in a fun, cartoony way. They are bright and share the story. I can picture reading this with my little ones and pointing out all the animals (a great way to learn the animals!).  The story is engaging and with simple words that the beginning reader can read. The words flow and carry you through the story. This book would be ideal for anyone who loves sea turtles or animals in general. Myrtle is a delightful girl with a big imagination. I really enjoy books where humans and animals can talk to each other. Once you read this book once with your little one it will quickly become a favorite!

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il...
