The Tale of Timothy Turtle Arthur Scott Bailey

As snappers go, old Timothy Turtle was fast. He loved nothing more than stretching his head out from underneath his shell and grabbing one of his neighbors in his strong mouth. Boy was he fast! Timothy thought it great fun even if his neighbors never got too close to him. He loved to bite! Living in the Black Creek, Timothy loved the summer when everyone wanted to swim in the cool water, but his neighbors always had to have a look out if they wanted to avoid his bite. And so the adventure begins. Short chapters and soft lessons make this book ideal for bedtime reading. A charming tale by Arthur Scott Bailey and illustrated by Harry L. Smith, presented for a new generation of young readers and for little hands to hold and to love. Recommended by The Gunston Trust for Nonviolence in Children's Literature. Ages 3-8
