It's the first day of school and Little Tortoise is worried. Can she
get there on time?
It's the first day of school and Little Tortoise is ready with a
backpack filled with new school supplies. Little Tortoise can't wait to
get to school and tries very hard not to be the last student there.
But soon Cheetah, Llama, and even a snail on a scooter, overtake her.
And then when she gets stuck in the gutter of the book, she's sure
she'll be the last pupil to arrive! But the timely arrival of Mr. Sloth,
her new teacher, changes everything.
Gentle reassuring language full of wordplay, and bold and bright art by
an up and coming artist offer students a comforting story about this new
experience. Here's a fresh way to encourage reluctant students to be on
their way.
