Short, sweet and full of magic! I truly enjoy reading this book and having the kiddos who are listening guess what animal the turtle turns into next. There is only one issue that I have with this book, and that is regarding two of the illustrations. While the illustrations overall are great, and very entertaining, the kids do have a hard time determining that the monkey is a monkey and the camel is a camel; I wish that these two animals were illustrated more clearly. However, even though two animals often become a different kind of animal, I still enjoy reading this book and the message behind it.
