Fantastic job! Great for kids of all ages, and their parents, too. In this age of growing waistlines and super-sized kids' meals, it's nice to see something that will help get kids off their duffs. A fun, fun book!

This book is a great choice for young children. The author conveys a simple message to stay fit by exercising and eating smart through Myrtle, the lovable turtle. This colorfully illustrated book would be an excellent addition to anyone's library as well as their child's classroom or school library.

The text of this story has everything a young reader needs: lots of rhyming, a few "big" words, and a story line that realistically portrays the excitement of track and field, support from friends and a loving family, while delivering a message to eat healthy and exercise.
The illustrations are adorable and humorous.

An inspiring story about Myrtle, an adorable though overweight turtle, who learns how healthy diet, exercise and persistence pay off when she her wins a hurdle race. This story is ripe for today's children who tend to spend more time on video games and TV than physical activity. My kids and their cousins love it.
