Myrtle The Turtle Reviews

4.0
“It’s my pleasure to be reviewing this book with Love Books Tours! I really liked the story of this book and its various educational aspects. And if I’m being honest, I was doubtful about the book blurb that said it would have a hopeful tone while stating the truth. However, I think it really came through in that regard. It took me on a journey as a reader and had illustrations that well contributed to the text. I also love the colorful vocabulary of this book, using words that will be both familiar and new to young readers. (PG rating)”
“This is a great story hoping to educate children about the plight of Hawksbills turtles”

About Chris Jones

For as long as he can remember, Chris has had a huge passion for storytelling. When his son Jesse was a young boy, instead of reading bedtime stories, they would make up their own far-fetched tales around the fictional superhero Deadly Derek. 2021 has marked Chris's entry into children's picture book writing. And he's been busy, publishing five fantastic books over the year. His talent for writing original and captivating stories around powerful messages is so evident - a rising star for sure!Besides having a great story to tell, Chris believes the best children's picture books have three key ingredients. The first is natural rhyme - words that feel like they should be there, not just because they match with another. The second is tantalising words and grammar - Chris's books will stretch a younger reader's vocabulary, and he uses a variety of tools to make the words roll off the tongue. And the final ingredient? Well, they must have beautiful illustrations to bring the story to life. For this, he relies totally on the genius of Becca Wain and her wonderful visual translation of his verses.
