I thought the turtle will not come out the shell I thought the turtle will come out and sing a song I liked the turtle

I loved this book because at the end turtle came out of her shell. l liked turtle because she was shy singing in front of people and then she wasn't shy when she sang with little bear. I would recommend this book to my little sister because it would teach her that if she's feeling shy she doesn't need to hide.

I loved turtle because at the end of the story she came out and bowed. It taught me that if we feel shy we can just come out. I think my brother should read this book because he will love it.
