Description:
Box Turtle at Silver Pond Lane
By Susan Korman
A day in the life of a female box turtle includes searching for food, withstanding threats from a raccoon and a car, and laying her eggs. Attractive oil paintings effectively portray her environment with a dark palette of greens, blues, and browns. The author is careful to avoid personification in this snapshot of one turtle. The book is similar to William T. George's highly acclaimed Box Turtle at Long Pond (Greenwillow, 1989). It follows a day in the life of a male box turtle and is accompanied by exquisite gouache paintings. It edges out Korman's book in preciseness of language and detail in illustration, but both are worthy purchases and would work well together for comparisons of male and female box turtles as well as the styles of authors and illustrators. |
