I liked it when the tortoise fell into the mud puddle! I also liked it when they were flying together.

I loved the golden eagle because he picked the tortoise up in the air

The tortoise was actually pretty scary first, some of you might disagree but the tortoise’s nose holes looks like eyes, and it’s kinda scary. I saw the actual tortoise. I’m giving it a five stars cause it said oof. R.I.P Roblox oof sound.

I like that book because it was a greedy tortoise and he wanted to fly but he could not

I like the Eagle because he is helpful. The Eagle took the tortoise high up in the sky, and it made the tortoise scary. The tortoise has a very shiny shell and a lovely log to sit on and juicy apples to eat. The Eagle fly high and low. The Eagle has golden feathers and great big wings. I do recommend this book to someone else.

I liked it because when the tortoise wanted to fly he was having fun for a little bit but then he was scared but he actually wanted to fly and he doesn’t like flying any more.

There wasn't much nature in it.

I really like the book, as here a tortoise wants to fly like an eagle. Every time, he tries he falls down. Finally, the eagle helps tortoise to fly by taking it inn her claws and to the sky. The tortoise feels very dizzy and urges eagle to take it down. The eagle finally says, that tortoise cant fly as it has no wings. I really want my friends to read the book.

The eagle took the tortoise into the sky. The tortoise didn’t like it. I would like to fly, but not with an eagle, with a fairy! I would recommend this to my friends at school.

The tortoise was scared of heights. In the end the eagle was nice to him.
