Melvin and the Boy

by Lauren Castillo

Book Overview

When a little boy sees a turtle basking in the sun at the park, he thinks he's found the perfect pet. But when they get home, the boy soon discovers that the only time the turtle comes out of his shell is at bath time. Is it possible that the turtle would be happiest back in the pond? After all, it's always bath time there Lauren Castillo's beautiful art gives this gentle story about finding the right pet--and, in the end, doing what's right for that...
