I purchased this book at The Cherry Door Thrift Shop in Tarrytown, NY. It had a surprising number of foreign books. I noticed the Japanese books, of course, but this one especially caught my eye because my brother-in-law has a tortoise.
This is a very cute children's picture book where a newly hatched turtle encounters various species of turtles, each indicating that they are the true turtle. The title translates to "Everyone's a Turtle!" so you can see where this is going. At the end of the book there is an explanation of each species that the characters are based on.
The nice thing about this picture book is that each turtle has a distinctive way of speaking that is identifiable. Some turtles speak like and old man, while others speak like a motherly lady. If I ever have a child, it would be nice to be able to share the nuances of this language and encourage their love of animals at the same time.
