MY REVIEW
The first time readers met Myrtle, she was a girl who fell into the sea. Max the sea turtle heard her calling for help and urged the ocean creatures to catch her. After her rescue, Max transformed her into a sea turtle and they both had a wonderful time with their ocean friends. Now Max and Myrtle hear someone else calling for help. There has been a powerful storm and many sea stars have been swept up and stranded on the beach. The turtles once again call on other animals to help - dolphins, otters, even ducks and owls gather up the sea stars and help Max and Myrtle safely take them back out to sea. Rhyming text and brightly colored illustrations capture the action. The owls and otters call out, “We’ll work together right away!” Readers can observe sea stars trapped in kelp on the shore, birds airlifting them on a carpet, otters and dolphins joining Max and Myrtle to carry the sea stars out to the deeper water. A humorous rescue with ducks and dolphins singing “Save the sea stars stranded on land” is sure to elicit a few giggles as well as sighs of relief at the happy ending.
