Verity is four and ocean-mad. Turtles, octopuses, dolphins, crabs in rock pools, she wants to know all of it. On holiday we visited the Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys, where she fed the patients lettuce and learned how people help sick sea turtles get better. It's been turtles, turtles, turtles ever since.
This site is where we share the books, toys, crafts and ideas that fit a little ocean lover. Everything is properly researched, and when Verity has tried something you'll see her honest verdict in the little turtle bubble.
