A boy and his turtle share hugs at the edge of the sea, and return to find them years later. Illustrated by Scottish artist Gemma Stuart, this sweet story separates the text from the illustrations, which encourages your pre-school reader to focus on the text and to love the art in turn. Meant for beginning readers from small children onwards, the Waverley Storybooks for Children use whole word learning combined with professional, artistic illustrations, beautiful enough for parents and very small readers to enjoy together. Linger over this lovely story with your special one. – Moving from lap reading to independent reading is a source of great pride for many beginning readers and I hope you and your little one enjoy these books as much as mine did.–Please look for the other books in the Waverley series: Bird and Butterfly, The Kissing Tree, and The Lazy Rooster –Dr. Amanda Stanford (www.reworkdpress.com)
