The Turtle Sisters Learn Although the turtle sisters, Daphne and Chloe, are happy when their swimmer friend from the previous summer returns to their pond with tasty treats, they aren't happy when a snapping turtle horns in on the party. It's time to play a different game, they decide, and time to learn new tricks for safeguarding their food from bigger fish and turtles. Maybe it's even time to stop being afraid of Snapper Jack. Maybe. Based on observations spanning many years, Susan Baur continues to weave the daily dramas of pond life into stories for ages four and up.
