Sea Turtle Anatomy: A Marine Biologist's Field Guide
Go inside the ocean's most incredible animal. This breathtaking watercolor field guide walks curious kids (and the grown-ups who love them) through a sea turtle's body part by part, from her suit of living armor to the salt glands that make her cry, all in the warm, vivid voice of a real marine biologist. Starring Naomi's own adopted sea turtles, 17 museum-quality hand-painted plates, and the science most people get completely wrong. A coffee-table book your kids will actually beg to read again and again.

Twelve chapters cover the whole turtle: the carapace and plastron scutes, flippers built like wings, the tooth-free keratin beak, lungs (not gills!), the salt glands behind her eyes, the spiny throat that traps jellyfish, color vision and the magnetic compass that guides her home across whole oceans, temperature-decided hatchlings, the full life-cycle loop, and the true survival story of Bender, a Kemp's ridley who lived through a boat strike. Accurate and never dumbed down, with a Did You Know fact on every page and a glossary that grows real little scientists. You get two files and can use both: a desktop and tablet edition with the full landscape plates, plus a mobile edition built for reading on a phone.
