This book goes on and on about ‘gods’ and their beliefs on how the turtle got its shell. It’s mythol

This book goes on and on about ‘gods’ and their beliefs on how the turtle got its shell. It’s mythology not a children’s book about a turtle getting its shell. I was expecting a silly story about a turtle finding its shell like the cover shows. That is not at all what this book was about.

Wonderful children's book

My wife runs an elementary school's gifted program and loves turtles so the book was a great find

Great Books!

My daughter loves the Little Golden Books! They are not too big, easy to read & lovely illustrations!
