EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.
Turtle lives in a cold, lonely place. In order to brighten his life, he takes it upon himself to build, eventually, an entire town on his back. After all of that work he takes a nap – a long nap. And while he is napping all sorts of creatures move into his town.
While I was reading, I was reminded of Discworld by Terry Pratchett (look it up). Beyond that, however, I had a hard time diving into the fantasy world and believing.
