4 1/2* Turtles Emerge!

+ Enchanting story, beautiful pictures!

This is a beautifully illustrated story of "Jiro-San," the supposedly "strange" older man who sweeps the beach, listens to birds, and waits mysteriously for something from the sea. Taro thinks Jiro-San is "old and wise," but his sister Yuko considers him "weird." Jiro-san enlists the boy's help in ...

SNAP! these books up!!!

+ seymour sea turtle snaps up lunch

My little boy took to this book (and others in the same series) with unbelievable zeal and honest interest! I can't implore enough to parents how entertaining these are, also serving to help develop hand - eye coordination, and a whole lot of participation. The handy format make these books ...
  
  











  



  
Leonardo Returns (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ready-to-Read)1 review
Jake Black

Simon Spotlight, 2007

A great FUN book for kids!

My son loves this book! It's a snack in his pantry of good reading - but the book is worthwhile because of the writing. Oftentimes these sorts of books are full of grammatical errors and sloppy storytelling - but Jake Black does it right. We'll be watching for more from this young, talented ...
  
  











  



  
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Titan Books))1 review
Peter David

Titan Books, 2007

Disappointing

This TPB is mainly meant for kids, but I wouldn't let my kids read it since it isn't even somewhat intellectual. The artwork resembles the new cartoon that is on Fox Kids, but I didn't like the artwork either. I'm a fan of the older comic books and artwork. And the story is just too simplistic ...

Very pleased

As a homeschooling mom, we found this book very informative about turtles. We did a unit on turtles and found this book to be an excellent book to use in our study of turtles. My daughter enjoyed the book and so did my 23 month old son who loved the turtle pictures. I like these Let's Read and ...

Delightful

+ Lucky 13
+ Traditional View of Seasonal meanings

I was fortunate to hear the author speak in the early 90s in my hometown of Syracuse, NY. He is an engaging storyteller. It was then that I discovered his book. The artwork in this edition is rich and appealing. The vignettes of each moon, combined with the illustrations, make an appealing ...
  
  











  



  
Flight of the Silver Turtle2 reviews
John Fardell

Putnam Juvenile, 2006

Another good one!

+ Exciting Children's Adventure Story

Note: For what it's worth in regard to how you take my review, I should point out that this book is aimed at kids but I'm an adult (theoretically). This follow-up to "The 7 Professors of the Far North" is every bit as good as the original. In some ways it's even better, since the main ...

TMNT's Artobiography

+ A must have for any comic art buff!
+ A good look into the process

I've been a rabid nut of the Turtles since I got my mitts on the Eastman & Laird comics in the 80's, so all this time later I couldn't believe my luck when I came across this book on Amazon. Bought it immediately and have been drooling over it ever since it arrived! First off, there is not a ...

Charming book

My two-year old received this as a gift. He immensely enjoys the beautiful illustrations. The underlying theme is the preservation of life species within ecosystems. But it has been beautifully conveyed to young readers. I highly recommend it.
