"Turtle Splash, Countdown at the Pond" by Cathryn Falwell

"One by one, ten turtles splash! into the pond. It's a colorful countdown that you can be a part of."

 

"Ten skittish turtles sunning on a log are joined on the pond by their wildlife neighbors, and readers are invited to count down from ten to one in this celebration of numbers, birds, animals, insects, trees and plants. Includes instructions for making leaf prints and a helpful, explanatory animal identification key."

 

"Pleasing fare for reading aloud at bedtime, or anytime, and offers an inviting early nature lesson." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

 

"A lovely example of multidisciplinary bookmaking shown how science, art, and literature can all connect." Kirkus Reviews
