A Children's Book

Say:

Tortoises don't have webbed feet.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Say:

They can't swim.
 
Re: A Children's Book

I wouldn't say tortoises can't swim. But they are not made for it. They are land creatures. They do drink water, and that's about all they have to do with it.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Say:

Look at its feet. It's a tortoise!
 
Re: A Children's Book

Not having webbed feet doesn't mean you can't swim. However, having webbed feet (or flippers) indicates that you are well-suited to aquatic life.

Amy: What should I do?
Dad: Wild animals should be left where they are found.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Two things. One, I would change the next sentence or delete it. Two, where do you think pet shops get their tortoises?
 
Re: A Children's Book

Thank you very much for your help. Tarheel :up:
 
Re: A Children's Book

If you already have a tortoise you can keep that one rather than going to the pet shop to get one. Of course, that changes your narrative.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Try:

Sea turtles have flippers, and they normally go on land only to lay eggs.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Try:

Sea turtles live in the ocean, coming ashore only to lay their eggs on the beach. And then they return to the sea.

Wow! I wish to see them once.

I am not at all sure what Amy means by that.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Try:

Let's give the tortoise a name.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Don't make the background too dark. Don't put everything in all caps.
 
Re: A Children's Book

Thank you for help. :-D

Thank you for your help. :-D
.

I agree that the text reads better with upper and lower case letters rather than all upper case letters.

The girl not only found the tortoise, she caught it as she was holding it in her hands to show her dad.
 
Re: A Children's Book

I always agree with those who agree with me.
:-D
