Book Synopsis

One by one, ten turtles splash into the pond. A counting book and fun exploration of animals at the pond, perfect for preschoolers.

It's a peaceful day at the pond as ten timid turtles bask in the sun. But wait! A bullfrog leaps, a rabbit rustles, deer appear, a chickadee chirps, and the turtles dive one by one into the water. Splash!

For storytime at home or in the classroom, use Turtle Splash! to gently reinforce early counting lessons, as well as information about the animals that visit a pond.

But most of all: turtles!
