Description
Mossy, a turtle with a remarkable garden on her shell, finds herself in a new and unfamiliar environment. Dr. Carolina, a biologist, has taken Mossy to live in her Edwardian museum, where visitors come to see her. However, Mossy longs for the freedom of the outdoors and the company of her friend Scoot. A solution is found when Dr. Carolina's niece, Tory, notices Mossy's sadness and suggests a way to keep her spirit alive. The museum is filled with life and color, thanks to the paintings of Flora and Fauna, and eventually, Mossy is returned home to Lilypad Pond, where Scoot is waiting for her. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world, both in its wild state and in the context of a natural history museum.
