review 1: This book is a rhyming story about archelon and other dinosaurs from hatching from an egg, then to living in the sea and then continuing the life cycle by laying eggs and the eggs hatching again. I really liked how this story was told using a rhyme which I think would keep children interested. Also the illustrations are very detailed and I think students could spend a lot of time examining all of the details in the illustrations.The illustrator uses very bold colors and lines and it makes the pictures very interesting. I thought that this was a good book especially to share with young children.
review 2: 3.5I will admit that I was wooed by the idea of a dinosaur book in the sea. The story of the turtle itself was only ok. The art work was pastel colors and ok.
... more The onomatopoeia was good. Overall, boys and girls might find this book equally appealing because the sea turtle was cute. The information about the history of the sea adds a bit of value to the book. And dinosaurs!It feels a bit like Nemo reimagined. Some adventure, some circle of life messages, but very lightly conveyed. Grab this one at the library. less

A pleasant book to read aloud because of the rhyme. Anthony loved it because of the dinosaurs.

Deftly constructed text and spectacular illustrations, diminished by a dull story.

Kinda dull, but 2nd grader thought it is just like a documentary, "Turtle."
