Lily's World Joanne Dott Stearns

Lily's World....or who's that knocking on my door? Is the true story of the day Lily and Gramma Jo had an adventure involving a Florida softshelled turtle that was knocking his head at the front door. When Gramma Jo picked up the turtle, it peed all over her. All children love to hear about the silly side of pee. This book is funny and informative and can be a great addition to any teaching unit about Florida and its wildlife. Lily, her little Chihuahua, accompanies Gramma Jo in trying to get the huge turtle into the lake near their home. The book includes facts about the Florida softshell turtle and some of the animals that live nearby in the preserve. Fun fact pages are added at the end of the book for teachers or parents or parents who wish to teach their children about Florida and its animals.
