Preview An excerpt from Anny The Sea Turtle:

“Once upon a time there was a sea turtle named Anny. She had a big shell and a great sense of humor.  She was young and pretty, and she swam with other turtles in the great ocean. She had a good time. Anny faced many dangers because sea turtles live in the water where there are lots of other creaturas, and they have to protect  themselves.”

Anny, the Sea Turtle. She is an endangered Olive Ridley.

In Spanish:  “Había una vez una tortuga llamada Anny de gran caparazón y un sentido del humor admirable.  Era joven y atractiva. Nadaba junto con otras tortugas en el gran océano.  Se divertia.  Anny se enfrentaba a muchos peligros porque las tortugas marinas viven en agua donde hay otras criaturas y tienen que protegerse de algunos de ellas.”
