Text and illustrations by Jana Grabner, Vermes-Verlag, Tulln an der Donau, well researched, with thanks to Peter Praschag (known as "Turtle Hero"). Many people don't even know that we have the European pond turtle, which is very rare and urgently needs to be protected. On World Turtle Day (every year on May 23rd), the author visited the National Park Center in Orth an der Donau (Lower Austria) and held several readings for children. You can't start learning through play early enough. There is also a three-year European research project (Emys-R), with the aim of restoring wetlands to encourage the settlement of pond turtles.
