The Water Turtle and the Tortoise (Forest Friends)

Book Synopsis: A little water turtle and a little tortoise meet at the pond. The tortoise wants to swim like the water turtle and gets himself into deep trouble. Then the water turtle dives into the water to rescue him. They become close friends after that, and the water turtle even goes to visit the tortoise in his home under the bushes. This story about friendship and courage is one you will be able to tell your children again and again. Freshwater turtles do not always live in the wild in the same areas of the world. This charming tale has a special appeal to children, because it conjures up an imaginary meeting between the type of turtle your child is more familiar with, and the one that lives far away in foreign lands. It is a story pre-school children will enjoy and love. The beautiful watercolour illustrations will fascinate your child and bring alive the unique nature of those two animals in a way the child can identify with.
