Turtle Spring (Tricycle Press $15.95)
Info
Gap-toothed Clee, introduced in Deborah Turney Zagwyn's The Pumpkin Blanket, reappears in Turtle Spring (Tricycle Press $15.95).
Summer brings a new baby brother and a big, green-eyed turtle. Fall brings the loss of the turtle, found stone cold, forgotten in the garden. Winter is cold and crisp. Clee shows her brother how to breathe on the frosty windows.
Then comes April snowdrops-and a big green turtle. He'd only been hibernating, safe in the warmth of the compost where Clee had buried him. 1-883672-53-8
