Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- Tired of turtle activities--such as resting--Turtle declares, "I want to fly more than anything." His friend Squirrel decides to help him out, and Turtle awakes the next morning to find Rabbit and Squirrel tying him up in kites. While Turtle may be disillusioned with his flying experience, young readers will not be disappointed with the broad slapstick humor of the plot and the clever dialogue of the well-developed characters. Expressive watercolor illustrations in soft tones enhance the mood of the animals and the general hilarity of the story. An excellent choice for reading aloud, this tale also offers possibilities for creative dramatics or puppetry within the classroom. --Starr LaTronica, North Berkeley Library, CA

The hilarious story of a squirrel determined to make turtle's wish to fly come true. Charming, full-color illustrations by Lynn Munsinger show turtle's horror at being flown on squirrel's kite--a perfect complement to Pat Collin's laughable text.
