I loved books of fables like ″Just So Stories″ as a kid, and so when I looked at the sample of this book and realized this book was in the same vein, I knew I had to pick it up for my little cousin! The book is engaging and fun with clear language, brightly colored illustrations, and a storyline that is easy to connect with. I really liked how the book held fast to the turtle's central problem of talking too much and tied it into how he lost the smooth shine of his shell. There were also some great facts about and photographs about turtles in real life so that kids can take the story and then learn the real-deal about turtles in nature. Great book!
