LitPick Review
The Magic Sea Turtle by Kathleen Welton and illustrated by Chau Pham is a picture book for young children ages 3 – 5 years old. Through engaging rhymes and colorful illustrations, Ms. Welton tells the story of a young girl named Myrtle who has a dream of becoming a princess with a glowing crown. Myrtle accidentally finds herself falling into the sea where she meets a magical sea turtle named Max. Max introduces Myrtle to many other delightful and friendly sea creatures who help Myrtle realize her dream and find happiness within their sea world.
Opinion:
The Magic Sea Turtle is an engaging children’s picture book for young children. The illustrations are beautiful. Chau Pham captures the essence of the story as well as the mood of each scene in the brightly colored and captivating illustrations which adorn each page. Ms. Welton weaves a story of fantasy and adventure for young children that encourages them to dream and find adventure. I feel that this short picture book would make an excellent bedtime read for young children just learning about various animals and the world around them.
