Goldie the Friendly Box Turtle

"Goldie The Friendly Box Turtle" is based on my own backyard wildlife experience. Over a two year period, I observed a special Eastern Box Turtle. It was interesting to watch her travel outside my home and learn about box turtle habits. In reviewing old photographs, I confirmed that this particular box turtle has been near my home for at least 7 years!

Young readers will learn about box turtles, and gain an appreciation of nature. I intend for this to be the first of many stories about Goldie.

Children's interests and reading levels vary. The author envisioned this book being read to a younger child and readable by an older one. Preschool through 2nd grade is the approximate reading level.
