Description

The Curious Explorers Club has one question for Alex: Where do sea turtles live? As her friends share their theories, Alex checks her journal for clues. How big are they? What do they eat? Where do they lay eggs? The explorers follow the answers to find out: Where exactly do sea turtles live? As in each of the titles in author and illustrator Elina Ellis’s Alex’s Field Guides series, this engaging book offers a child-friendly allegory on the importance of protecting the habitats of endangered species. Appealing characters asking kid-friendly questions will draw in children wanting to know the answers. Colourful spreads showcase Alex’s journal – jam-packed with sea turtle facts, including how they’re being threatened. The back matter shows readers how to start their own explorers club. With its clever blend of story and information, this is an excellent choice for life science lessons on marine animals, habitats and characteristics of living things. It also fosters critical thinking and inquiry-based learning.
