The Singing Tortoise

John Yeoman
Illustrated by Quentin Blake
(Puffin Books)
978-0575060265, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy ""The Singing Tortoise: And Other Animal Folk Tales" on Amazon

Animals of all sorts, shapes and sizes march across the pages here; the funny, the naughty, the brave and the beautiful. In twelve folk tales to read on individual occasions or to enjoy from cover to cover in one go, these animals make us think not only about them but about ourselves, as well. Quentin Blake's illustrations are clever and very funny and manage to extend the text - words and pictures complementing each other perfectly.
