Sheldon's Shell

The Turtle Who Tried Everything

Ages 4-8

When Sheldon the turtle comes into the world without a shell, he sets out on a journey to find it.  He soon discovers that the forest is filled with things that look and fit like a shell.  But most of them already belong to someone else.

 His earnest search and innocent misunderstandings all lead him on a road to discovery as it tries out everything from a buzzing hornets' nest to a squishy mushroom— until he finds the perfect shell that even has room for friends.

This light-hearted story is ideal for little ones who enjoy nature, forest animals, and a little bit of humor.

Perfect for classroom storytime and read-alouds, but gentle enough for sharing as a cozy bedtime story.

Join Sheldon on his quest and discover how this clever little hatchling solves his problem.
