When Turtle Grew Feathers: A Folktale from the Choctaw Nation

This is a great story. Tim Tingle is a fabulous storyteller.

Great story. Whole family enjoyed.

Follows the "fractured fairy tale" line. Worth a lot of giggles. Even my three young grandsons saw the humor in the story.

I found the story incomplete. It leaves you hanging with out a perspective of the ending...confused.

The kids (3 and 5 now but we've been reading for a couple of years) pick it again and again. Turtle and turkey could have been angry and fought each other but decided to become friends and then tricked the bully hare. Lovely colorful illustrations and great message. Love the trust on the old Aesop's Fable. Love the Choctaw folklore. And the illustrations are beautiful and tell the story.

This would have earned 5 stars had the text been consistent and not rhyme, no rhyme which made it off to read aloud.Would like to see how the original Choctaw tale of the Tortoise and the Hare goes.Written by Tim Tingle, illustrated by Stacey Schuett and published by August House Little Folk, Atlanta.#tales #PB #Choctaw
