Customer Reviews

A turtle who just can't get it right, despite the odds!

Theodore Turtle wants to do everything right. But he just cannot remember what it is he is supposed to do. He is always very proud of himself, for carrying out his vision, but in doing so, he forgets practical things, like taking the whistling teapot off the stove, or getting slightly confused about his rubbers. The illustrations by Paul Galdone are wonderful. My children cheered for Theodore, an adorable turtle with all the odds stacked against him.

instant favorite

This book is a favorite of my 5 year old. He seems to really enjoy the story. I like it because it helps him to use memory skills. The only downfall to this story is that it seems a bit lengthy after reading 15 times a day!
