Who will help Mossy return home to Lilypad Pond? Mossy, an amazing turtle with a gorgeous garden growing on her shell, loses her freedom when Dr. Carolina, a biologist, takes her to live in her Edwardian museum. Visitors flock to see Mossy, but it is Dr. Carolina's niece, Tory, who notices how sad Mossy is living in a viewing pavilion. She misses the outdoors and her friend, Scoot. Dr. Carolina finds a way to keep the spirit of Mossy alive at the museum. She invites Flora and Fauna to paint Mossy's portrait. Then she and Tory take Mossy home, where Scoot is waiting for her. Jan Brett fans will pore over the colorful paintings of Lilypad Pond and lush borders displaying wildflowers, ferns, butterflies and birds in contrast to elegant spreads of the museum filled with visitors in stylish Edwardian dress and exquisite borders of shells, rocks, crystals and birds' eggs. MOSSY gives readers a fascinating look at nature in the wild and on display in a natural history museum.

@MoonWitch94 @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm thanks for the tag #ThoughtfulThursday
🌍 my favorite place is home. I didn't know how much I loved my home until the last crazy year. 🌎 today was cool, but mostly sunny, clouds and just enough water in the air to seem misty. 🌏 I love the sound of rain. Which is good. It rains a lot here. 🐌 the picture is of the moss I pulled out of the grass yesterday - just got started.

lazydaizee This reminds me that I need to do some gardening too. 3y
MoonWitch94 I have to admit that home is one of my favorite places, too. Staying home hasn‘t been that terrible for me 🤣😂 Glad I‘m not the only one! Thanks for playing 🌷☺️🌳 3y
mandarchy @nuttybooklady our weather here has been beautiful. We had a little false summer last week. Today we had back into dreary skies. I'm not sure if I'll ever get enough moss out of the grass... 3y
mandarchy @MoonWitch94 is always fun to play along. I liked this one, it made me think about how happy I am to stay home. I used to love to travel, but realized that sometimes being a tourist is too superficial and I can get a lot of that from home. Especially since I have such bad allergies. I'm allergic to all peppers. Think of all the countries where I might struggle with that. 3y
