| Summary |
For over 200 million years, sea turtles have swum throughout Earth's oceans. Rarely leaving their watery homes, these incredible reptiles have long fascinated people. Readers will discover how sea turtles crawl onto beaches to lay their eggs, why they are so graceful underwater but sluggish on land, and how their shells help protect them from harm. |
