Excellent all around book

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is a well written, comprehensive book. I must admit when I first saw it I thought it was another book geared toward children. But as I got into the book I was that it really was a eductional piece that older children can understand while being interesting for an adult. It tells all! From preparing to purchase, an excellent feeding chapter, to understanding turtle behavior. It even gives the reader 7 Golden Rules for keeping a heathy, happy turtle. The one thing not covered are illnesses but it is focused on keeping a turtle healthy, leaving disease to a veterinarian that is competent in treating the species.
Good to excellent read

A turtle book apparently by a turtle enthusiast

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2001

I've read a lot of turtle care books, and this is one of my faves! It's very colorful and entertaining. The author knows his subject and is passionate about it. The guide to reading a turtle's body language was really unique. It was like someone else finally realized there was so much more to keeping turtles as pets. :)

Just what I needed

This inexpensive book is informative and enjoyable.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2000

An illustration is worth a thousand words and the combination of pictures, illustrations and practical knowledge makes this an excellent book for both the new pet owner and serious hobbyists.
I recommend books to new pet owners on a regular basis at our web site. Hartmut Wilke's books are amoung our favorite suggested references for general care. This book is no exception.
