This book tells a simple story about a box turtle that lives over 100 years. I did not know that this turtle lived in the woods so I learned something as well. The story shows deforestation over the years along with how we are now trying to save the environment through projects. As I read this book with my grandson, we discussed the illustrations and the text to help him get involved in the story. There was not much to it, but the illustrations encouraged discussion. I liked the note at the back of the book specifically about not taking animals from the wild and what to do if you come across an injured Box Turtle. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

Box Turtle by John Himmelman is a children's book that follows the life of a common Box turtle. However, there is nothing 'common’ about this old gel at all! She lives to be over a hundred years old. In the background if her life, we see humans arrive in the area. More and more homes appear. So do cars, and she gets run over by one. Thankfully, the rough incident only chipped her shell. A young boy finds her and keeps her as a pet until he leaves for college. He releases her back to the wild. Decades later, the pair meet again, each ancient now. Turtle’s land has become a preserve, and nature is reclaiming it. She can no longer see homes, though humans do still pass through.

My cubs and I read this story together. It is so sweet. Poignant and sad as well. I never knew common box turtles could live so long. Growing up, my family and I always stopped to move turtles off of streets, so they wouldn't get run over. Where I live now, turtles aren't prevalent. We do still move injured animals from the road, and get appropriate care. Now, I'm more likely to be called upon to rescue birds. This book is a great choice for young readers, and as a bedtime read. It houses a great deal of teaching in a few gentle words, and in the gorgeous artwork. Our favourite part was when Turtle shared a meal with her granddaughter, and you got to see the different patterns to the shells.

***Many thanks to Netgalley and Muddy Boots Books for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. ( )
