Summary: Timeless
Review: I was delighted when my old 1974 copy of this book resurfaced from my parents' basement. Although this story is nearly twenty years old, it is one of those treasured tales that never loose their charm, and one I could never forget. All day long, Albert the young turtle lies in bed complaining of a toothache, to the disbelief and dismay of every other member of his family-"everyone knows turtles don't have teeth"! Finally, when Grandmother turtle stops by, she not only believes Albert when he says he has a toothache, she knows how to fix it! Soft, smooth, thoughtful full-page pencil sketches accompany every single page of text. This book is a treasure, a classic, and belongs on every child's (and doting grandparent's)bookshelf. Get it while you can!
