About the Book For Tortoise, winter is good for one thing: a nice long nap. Can friends open his eyes to a season full of surprises? Every year, Tortoise hibernates through winter. He assumes he isn’t missing much. However, his friends are determined to prove otherwise! Will Tortoise sleep through another winter, or will his friends convince him to stay awake and experience the frosty fun? In the follow-up to her bestselling Too Many Carrots, Katy Hudson delivers a charming picture book, featuring the fun of winter and the heartwarming benefits of friendship. My Take on the Book This story will definitely make you smile and laugh. It will make you want to reread it . This is a perfect story for a young child. The story has some repetition as the tortoise reminds his friends that " Tortoises do not like winter" . Tortoise tries to sleep in many different locations but he is disturbed by his friends wanting to play. It is not until Tortoise accidentally comes across a sled that he decides winter is fun. You will love the expressions on the animals faces and so will your child. There are so many wonderful creative details in the art work.
