Keane, Dave Who Wants
a Tortoise? Illustrated by K.G.

Content: G.
The adorable little
girl in this book has been asking for a puppy her entire life. She has a birthday party but when she opens her present with the breathing
holes in it, she is disappointed to find a tortoise. The girl’s father is allergic to dogs and so
this is the animal he gives her. After
pointing out all the ways that her tortoise has disappointed her, she comes up
with inventive ways to play with her new pet.
When the tortoise goes missing, she realizes how much she loves him and
misses him.
My son and I were laughing
out loud at this adorable book. The
illustrations are perfect and the story line is great. I liked that the little girl learned to be
grateful for what she had. Super cute
read!
