About This Book
Truman is a devoted pet tortoise whose owner Sarah heads off to her first day of school, leaving him behind. Worried when she doesn't return right away, Truman embarks on a slow but determined journey through the apartment and out into the big city to find her.
Why We Love This
The image of a tiny tortoise bravely venturing into the enormous city is both hilarious and heartwarming - a perfect read for first-day-of-school jitters.
