Nate the Great and the Tardy Tortoise
by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat (Author) Marc Simont (Illustrator)
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and someone is eating the flowers in Nate the Great's garden. A green tortoise is slowly, slowly stepping across the lawn, and Nate is slowly, slowly following him. Where does Nate's green guest truly belong?
It may take all of Nate the Great's patience and sharp eyesight to find out slowly.
