Tiny Tim

A Nearly Naughty Early Reader

by Tara Maya

I have a little turtle. His name is Tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim.... This classic tale of a turtle with an appetite is even funnier as Tiny Tim tries out the swimming pool and then the ocean! This is a summer favorite!

About the author

Tara Maya has lived in Africa, Europe and Asia. She's pounded sorghum with mortar and pestle in a little clay village where the jungle meets the desert, meditated in a Buddhist monastery in the Himalayas and sailed the Volga river to a secret city that was once the heart of the Soviet space program. This first-hand experience, as well as research into the strange and piquant histories of lost civilizations, inspires her writing. Her terrible housekeeping, however, is entirely the fault of pixies.
