After I'd read Turtles and Tortoises I was pretty sure that I wanted to get him a Red-Eared Slider. They're fairly common, not extremely fussy and still a nice turtle.
The Guide to Owning a Red-eared Slider is exactly what it says it is. It's well-laid out, provides simple, yet good, information. I feel that I can not only make an informed choice of turtle but that we'll be able to take care of it. It gets a 4 from me. Only because I would have liked a little less information on breeding and a little more information on tank set-up.

Turtles and Tortoises
My 5 year old will soon be turning 6 and would like a pet of his own. He's fascinated with turtles and they seem like a pet that he'll be able to look after without too much help from his parents. However, it's still going to be a living creature and I think that if one is undertaking the responsibility of a pet that one should be as prepared as possible. I don't want to just throw a turtle in a tank and hope for the best.
Turtles and Tortoises is a great little book. It's easy to read and packed full of useful information for the beginner. It not only helps with setting up a turtle habitat, but helps in choosing the species and tips for down the road with turtle maintenance. It's a 5.
