"Sweet and gentle like the other books in the series. This one focuses on the "visiting" turtle and the two oldest mouse children."

    " Calder and I are racing through this Cynthia Rylant series. The Turtle was my least favorite so far, but it won't stop us from heading to the library today to check out the rest! Rylant is such a perfect children's writer, and I love sharing these short chapter books with my boy. "
