This is the story of the adventures of a Terrapin who hatches on the shores of Harris Creek in Maryland and is taken in and cared for by a nice couple. It is a beautifully illustrated picture book with many chances to discuss the story and learn to clarify, infer and question the text. Also included are teacher/parent lesson plans and practice for children to learn comprehension strategies for reading.
