When a tortoise named Shelley decides she wants to stay awake and see what winter is like instead of hibernating with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tortoise say, "Ridiculous!" Shelley is determined though, and sets out to explore the snow and the cold. As she travels from the duck pond to the hilltop, she finds the other animals agree with her parents - a tortoise out in winter is ridiculous. And so Shelley decides to return home - and gets there much quicker than a tortoise can normally travel! Playful artwork perfectly sets the tone in this lighthearted story.

A charming little story,
By
This review is from: A Silly Snowy Day (Paperback)
In this delightful little story, a young tortoise decides she doesn't want to go to sleep for the winter. (The tortoise's name, Shelley, is actually one of the best parts of the book.) Curious to see what winter is like, she leaves her parents snoring and goes outside. She learns that tortoises aren't very good at some things, like running around in the snow. She finds that tortoises are good at some other things, though.
The story is simple, the drawings are cute, and the words repetitive. The lessons Shelley learns have a whiff of the all-encompassing self-esteem and mulitcultural fads of today's education. All the same, it's a cute little book. Fine for beginning readers.
