The Book Turtle

Pete is quite the poky plodder and, one day, when Fox, Hare, Mouse and Badger take him to the library, Pete falls asleep. When he wakes up, he’s all alone with masses of books. But what should he do with them? Luckily Pete is good at coming up with ideas, and when he decides to open a book, magical things happen.

The Book Turtle is a humorous and heartwarming story about imagination, books, and friendship. It’s also about discovering the joy of reading when you least expect it.
