Early reviews for Sea Turtle Rescue

July 4, 2013 By Eric Douglas

A few reviews of Sea Turtle Rescue have come in and everyone so far has loved it! (I’m sure at some point there will be a negative review or two. You can’t please everyone…)

 

Regardless, it is gratifying that these parents and readers have enjoyed Sea Turtle Rescue so much right beside their children. 

See what they have to say!

Turtles’ Hurdles July 3, 2013

 

By KayakRenee

This book, The Sea Turtle Rescue, is an affirmation of the good we as parents, teachers and mentors of young people can do, with a little knowledge and a lot of heart, to demonstrate empathy and a willingness to do the right thing.

The father of two, Eric Douglas has penned a children’s book with a message for adults as well: Turtles, like so many animals, face manmade dangers as well as a shrinking habitat. It is up to us humans, as stewards of the planet, to do our best to help where we can to remove hurdles to a better world.

In teaching our children to save the turtles we in turn save a little bit of ourselves.

Daddy… we need to save some Sea Turtles. July 1, 2013

 

By DoctorDaddy

It’s easy to be an adult fan of Eric Douglas’ work, especially if you’re a diver and James Bond fan. But how well does that translate to his children’s fiction, especially this title?

Douglas is always building a dense world, but when he writes for children he doesn’t just tell us about the stilt houses along the barrier islands, he tells us why.

“But WHY, Daddy?”

If your children are like mine, that question will always be there and it is a pleasure to be able to point to the words on the page when I answer.

Sea Turtle Rescue is a great story that includes so many details about the lives of the children in the story that I am pretty sure I’ve met them and you will too.

Share this fun read with your early readers and you will get to experience the delight of knowledge AND the exuberance of a new passion.

I would tell you more about this very enjoyable book, but unfortunately Eliza needs me to help save some Sea Turtles…RIGHT NOW Daddy !

Ideal and educational June 30, 2013

 

By Elizabeth Gaucher

When I was a little girl, I had the rare experience of going out on the beach at night at Ocean Isle, NC, and seeing baby sea turtles emerge from their nest and make haste to the sea by moonlight. I still remember my amazement at their tiny forms, their persistence, and the odd almost primordial beauty of their quest for the sea.

Now I am the mother of a young child, and I do not think she will ever experience, firsthand, this connection with sea turtles as I did; but I can read her “Sea Turtle Rescue,” and I can talk about my memories.

Eric Douglas has done a terrific job of capturing all the things about sea turtles that fascinated me then, and his approach to storytelling is spot-on for capturing a young person’s attention now. His characters, the setting, the dynamics and dialogue, all ring true and make a child want to engage. I highly recommend this book, especially for young people who have a love of biology, wild creatures, and the sea.

 

The second book in the Jayne and Marie adventure series on the Outer Banks is Swimming with Sharks. Through July 6, 2013, it is a FREE Kindle download.
Here are a couple reviews for Swimming with Sharks as well.

Appreciation and respect for predators in nature June 17, 2013

 

By Rick C.

This is a story for children and grownups too. Eric Douglas dispels a few misconceptions and replaces them with respect for these predators along the way….following a storyline that anyone should like…!!!!
