Turtle
walk. Nice and slow. Here we go!
Explore all four seasons
with this charming--and patient!--turtle family. Award-winning author-artist Matt Phelan guides the youngest
readers from the first blooms of spring and the scorching sun of summer
to the crisp leaves of fall and fat snowflakes of winter. Fans of Anna
Dewdney and Tad Hills will want to go on this journey again and again.
Spring
blooms, and a turtle family is on the move. Slow and steady, they travel up,
up, up, the gentle hill through all four seasons. Where are they going? To the
top of the sledding hill, of course! But how will they get back down the hill to a
well-deserved winter's rest?
Matt
Phelan's simple, rhythmic text is filled with repetition that shines in
read-alouds, and his soft, colorful watercolor artwork bring the seasons to
vivid life. The joyful journey and gentle, rewarding surprise make Turtle
Walk a timeless choice for every home and classroom.
