Today is World Turtle Day. Truman by Jean Reidy is a charming book for the youngest readers. When I saw a book named Truman, I had to read it. I have a lively demonstrative poodle named Truman, and I really hoped the Truman is this book would be a strong character. Truman the turtle didn’t disappoint. He’s a small tortoise with a big personality. When Sarah starts school, Truman begins to worry. It’s a sweet book that explores emotions in a quiet way. Lucy Ruth Cummins’s illustrations reflect the reassuring mood of the story. This book is a good choice for a child beginning school or taking a step into the bigger world.
