This book was pretty good. Great for young kids to read.
its a good reader for young children
My children loved it - easy to read aloud - fun to watch them figure it out!
Anything by Roald Dahl is sure to be a treat, whether you are a child or an adult. The endearing artwork in the pages help tell the story of a little turtle and his adventures in an apartment building, and how he brings two people together. Although I'm an adult, I found it delightful. It's perfect for reading to a child, too!
