Two Turtles

Jake A. Minton and Kiah Thomas
$24.99
A tale of two turtles, a competition and the power of working together. Mostly. 

Frank and Terrence are known for their relentless rivalry. They compete in everything, from slow-walking races to shiniest-shell contests. But one fateful day, they take things too far, with no way out but to work together.

Two Turtles is a hilarious and irreverent story that explores cooperation, communication and teamwork. The surprising ending will tickle readers and spark endless discussions about complex friendships and conflicting feelings – can you be fiercely competitive and still be a good teammate?
