Little turtle was lost! Free from his egg, he climbed out into a big, beautiful new world. Lost and alone, he wondered―where did he really belong? The bear told him to live in the woods; the frog said, “The swamp!” But turtle just didn’t feel at home. He needed help, but where could he turn? Author Susan Ring helps turtle in this whimsical story of self-exploration and nature, Where Should Turtle Be? Detailed illustrations by Laurie Allen Klein give these friendly animals personality, and in the end, an unexpected tickle and tumble help turtle find his place in his new world. The “For Creative Minds” educational section includes “Turtle Fun Facts” and “Match the Turtle to its Habitat.” The satisfying rhythm and rhyme of the short verses make this a good choice for reading aloud. Children will sympathize with the little turtle, who listens politely to the advice of others, but follows his own heart in the end. --Booklist Nicely told in rhymes.
