Reluctant to leave his home, he finally runs to catch up with his parents. Oliver has some adventures along the way and learns an important lesson in the process. Enjoy this read-aloud picture book with your child. For inquiring minds, some interesting facts about turtles are included at the end, answering questions the reader might have about turtles.

Turtle Crossing review by RabbitFolkReviews
RabbitFolkReviews

Big life changes, like moving houses, can make even the strongest of us shrink back into our shells. Quickly, the unfamiliar faces and loud noises get tough when you lose the comfort of your previous safe spaces, especially for children. Oliver the turtle was merely going about his joyous day-to-day routine, appreciating what his home has to offer and recounting fond memories with Papa Turtle and Mama Turtle, when he learns that everything is about to be different: they’re going to live on the land below the hill. Oliver, like anyone who loves their home, is shocked!
