Marie and Her Friend the Sea Turtle Review & Giveaway CLOSED

I love books that are both educational and fun for the twins. Marie and Her Friend the Sea Turtle is a book written in three languages, to help expose children to learning new languages early on. Nicole Weaver, the author of this book, is a veteran teacher of French and Spanish at the middle school and high school level, which is why she wanted to create a book in all three languages.My Take
This book is captivating with colorful illustrations and a moving plot. It's about a young girl named Marie who strikes up a brief friendship with a sea turtle who needs help getting back to the sea, but her parents have other plans for the turtle. Can Marie save the sea turtle?? You'll just have to read the book to find out!
Marie and Her Friend the Sea Turtle is a great book for kids who are about 9-12 as some of the words can be difficult to pronounce (but if an adult is reading then it's great for all ages). I would highly recommend getting this book for your child!
Cost: You can buy Marie and her Friend the Sea Turtle for $14.95 on Amazon.com. ($$$$)
Overall: We give Marie and Her Friend the Sea Turtle a 9/10!

Between my husband and myself one or both of us fluently speaks Spanish, French, and Hebrew. I'd be happy to teach the babies any or all of them (though if it were Hebrew I'd have to learn along with them), but DH thinks that Spanish is the most useful.
