a wonderful book about turtles that should always be in print

This is an obvious labor of love by a sympathetic and careful observer of a local population of spotted turtles in New England. The writing, illustrations and fine details bring to vivid life the most mundane activities of these gentle beasts. If you have any interest in turtles track down a copy of this book!

david is a fabulous writer and illustrator......

a true example of brillance, in subject matter and illustrations....!!!!!!!!!

Carroll's book is an incredibly beautiful natural history.

David Carroll marvelously mixes the arts with science: true to his art, he is a refined Thoreau. His love and understanding for his subject is clearly evident.
