이 책은 바다 거북이 태어나서 자라고, 나중에 다시 자기가 태어난 곳으로 돌아와 알을 낳는 과정을 세밀하고 아름다운 사실화 그림을 이용해서 흥미진진하게 보여줍니다.
조그만 탁구공같이 생긴 알에서 부화한 새끼 바다거북은 연약한 자신의 몸을 보호하기 위해 해초 사이에 숨어서 조그만 새우등을 잡아 먹으면서 성장합니다. 어린 새끼거북의 갑옷은 부드럽고 연해서 다른 포식동물들로부터 자신의 몸을 보호할 수 없지요. 하지만 나이가 들수록 등과 배의 껍질은 단단해집니다. 파충류인 바다거북은 허파호흡을 하기 때문에 4~5분 간격으로 수면 위로 머리를 내밀고 호흡을 해야 합니다만, 잠을 잘 때는 수시간 동안 호흡을 하지 않고 물 속 깊은 곳에 머물 수도 있습니다. 1~2년이 지나서 접시크기만큼 성장하면 바다거북은 단단한 입으로 게를 잡아먹습니다. 그 때가 되면 갑옷은 단단해져서 다른 포식동물들이 바다거북을 잡아먹을 수 없게 됩니다. 바다거북은 수천킬로미터를 여행하며 보내지만, 태어난지 30년가량이 지나면, 바다거북은 신기하게도 자기 태어났던 바닷가로 돌아와서 짝짓기를 하고, 모래 위로 올라와서 구덩이를 판 후 100여개의 알을 낳습니다. 물 속에서만 살아온 바다거북에게는 알을 낳기 위해 모래 위로 기어가는 것이 매우 위험한 일입니다. 특히 뜨거운 한낮에는 과열로 인해 죽게 될 수도 있지요. 그래서 바다거북들은 한 밤에 모래 위로 올라와서 알을 낳습니다. 모래 구덩이에 알을 낳고 다시 모래를 덮어 놓은 후 바다거북은 다시 바다로 돌아가고, 알들은 약 6주후에 부화합니다...

Book Description
This lyrical and informative look at the elusive and endangered loggerhead turtle is sure to delight young nature lovers.
Far, far out at sea lives one of the world's most mysterious creatures, the loggerhead turtle. For thirty years she swims the oceans, wandering thousands of miles as she searches for food. Until, one summer night, she lands on a beach to lay her eggs, the very same beach where she herself was born. Nicola Davies's lyrical text offers fascinating information about the journey of the tiny, endangered loggerhead, while charming paintings by Jane Chapman vivdly illustrate one turtle's journey.
Publishers Weekly
Davies's (Bat Loves the Night) dramatic rendering of the life cycle of the Loggerhead turtle draws readers into the mysteries of this reclusive deep-sea creature, while Chapman's (The Emperor's Egg) aqua-tinted full-spread illustrations bring the ocean world to life in all its majestic beauty. Loggerhead swims alone in the vastness of the water, munches on crabs, floats over coral reefs and crawls with slow, heavy steps across the beach to lay her eggs. The text addresses readers directly, while seamlessly weaving facts into the story: "For thirty years you might not find her./ Then one summer night she arrives,/ on the beach where she was born." Additional details deliberately placed outside the story in a smaller font and wavy typeset may confuse youngsters at first, but overall, the informative text flows with poetic grace: "Just beneath the surface/ is a tangle of weed and driftwood/ where tiny creatures cling./ This is the nursery of a sea turtle." Aspiring scientists may also wonder how the newborn turtles find their way from the shore to these "nurseries," but the author gives them much to mull over. By the time Loggerhead's hatchlings race for their lives across the beach, under threat of attack, readers will be emotionally invested in their plightAa sure sign of the accomplished storytelling.

"Davies's dramatic rendering of the life cycle of the Loggerhead turtle draws readers into the mysteries of this reclusive deep-sea creature," said PW, "while Chapman's aqua-tinted spreads bring the ocean world to life in all its majestic beauty."
Children's Literature
For inquisitive kids there is nothing better than well-written nonfiction. Nicola Davies is an author with many accolades for doing just that and her book about loggerhead turtles was named The Best Children's Book of the Year, 2002, by Bank Street College of Education and it received half a dozen state awards. The book has been reissued as part of the "Read, Listen & Wonder" series. The story tells of the life of a loggerhead, how it grows from a tiny little creature hatched from an egg, that it finds refuge in the sea, growing eventually into a huge creature weighing so much that at maturity it can barely pull its body across the sand to dig a nest and lay eggs. Once born these turtles face great danger and many do not even make it to the sea. Creatures just lie in wait to make a meal of them. Once at sea, there are other dangers until the turtle ages and its shell grows hard enough and it is big enough that it is no longer a tasty meal for a fish. Scientists really do not know much about sea turtles and certainly there is no explanation of how they manage after nearly 20 years to find their way back to the beach where they hatched to lay the eggs for another generation. The pictures are totally complementary. The text is also complemented by a factual test that runs along the bottom of certain pages like the waves that are a part of these turtles' habitats. In this reissue the story is read by Alan Marriott and then additional facts are provided about this creature that is so elusive. The third and final track has the book being read again with music to assist young readers with the page turns.
Parent Council Reviews
For thirty years she swims the oceans wandering thousands of miles in search of food. One summer night she lands on shore to lay her eggs on the same beach where she was hatched! This story of one tiny turtle's journey is beautifully illustrated.
School Library Journal
This nicely developed picture-book introduction to the loggerhead turtle sketches the life experiences of a typical female through text and broad acrylic views. The author exhibits a flair for alliteration and imagery in her descriptive narrative about this sea animal: "Just beneath the surface is a tangle of weed and driftwood where tiny creatures cling. This is the nursery of a sea turtle." Several pages follow the creature's early period and departure for the larger sea, and then the years of growth and travel are skimmed until her eventual return to the beach of her birth to lay her own eggs. On many pages curving lines of smaller type add bits of explanation, augmenting the story line. The double-spread paintings, occasionally alternating with smaller pictures set on aqua pages, focus on the turtle, with a few water plants suggesting underwater detail. A fine bed of blue crabs on which the turtle feasts is the only view of other animals sharing the ocean habitat until a concluding beach scenario where gulls and crabs threaten the newly hatched turtles who are starting the cycle anew. A very brief introduction identifies this turtle as a loggerhead. Gail Gibbons's Sea Turtles (Holiday, 1995) and Brenda Guiberson's Into the Sea (Holt, l995) offer young readers more information on this interesting animal. Broadly sketched in good language and pictures for read-aloud sharing, Davies's title will be enjoyed as a glimpse into the ways of the remarkable giant sea turtles.
