Turtle Crossing
What's Turtle Crossing About
Why did the turtle cross the road? Five years after a female painted turtle hatches from her shell, she is ready to lay eggs of her own. This is a dangerous task because there is a road between her and the perfect nesting site. She starts to cross, but a huge car is hurtling her way. It stops just in time, and the kind people help her to safety. So the next time you see a Turtle Crossing sign, keep your eyes open–if you’re lucky you just might see a painted turtle on her way to make a nest. “Turtle Crossing” is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children’s Book of the Year.
