Book Reviews of Christmas Turtles
Book Review: A delight for the family to share as the holiday season approaches
Summary: 5 Stars
Written by award-winning author Sara Ann Denson and illustrated by Tara McMillen, Christmas Turtles is a picturebook not about live turtles, but rather about a tasty Christmas candy treat made of pecans and chocolate - and the years of tradition that go behind making and sharing it. Written to be read aloud, or for children who are just old enough to be on the cusp of graduating from picture books to chapter books, Christmas Turtles is a delight for the family to share as the holiday season approaches. The final page gives the recipe for making Christmas Turtles in one's own kitchen.Book Review: Brings Back Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
A great book to share with your children and grandchildren. The story brings back memories of going to grandma's house at Christmas and playing with cousins you only see once or twice a year. There is also a great turtle recipe to make with the kids (or not) at then end of the story.Book Review: Brought tears to my eyes!

Summary: 4 Stars
Christmas Turtles is a heart warming story about a sweet family tradition. Every year, Grandma bakes chocolate turtles (the candy not the animals) for her grandchildren. Grandma takes a good deal of care and energy to make them from scratch, from harvesting pecan trees that she has planted for each grandchild to the delicious finished candies. Christmas Turtles comes complete with a holiday recipe for Christmas Turtles so that you too can start your own holiday tradition.Book Review: Christmas Turtles Keeps Sight of Christmas Values
