Birtle and the Purple Turtles by Tara J. Hannon, Tara J. Hannon
4.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Stars
'[It's funny] because you said fuzzy butt, not because you have a fuzzy butt.'
[b:Birtle and the Purple Turtles|176440310|Birtle and the Purple Turtles (Volume 1)|Tara J. Hannon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1686494182l/176440310._SY75_.jpg|183064542] was a very cute and silly story that I feel young readers (6+) would enjoy. The story shared positive messages about friendship, differences, and being true to yourself. The topics addressed in this book could easily be used as a starting point for further discussions with children surrounding diversity, and how you don't need to look the same as your friends/family in order to have things in common. The turtle puns and tappies throughout always brought a little smirk to my face as I read. Art style was very cartoony, not my favourite style but I believe children will love it. The mostly purple colour scheme was a great way to compliment and contrast Teeny's orange hue.
