A Very Good Day for Turtles is a fantastic children’s story, which is now available for purchase from Lulu. Wondering why turtles don’t hurry anymore? Mr. Clark’s poetic fable of a few precocious turtles offers an answer. The illustrations, a Gomez/McLaughlin collaboration, enhance the story with their imaginative light and leave the lasting impression of playful myth.
I’m not just calling attention to A Very Good Day for Turtles because the people that made it are close to me (and I happened to have had a pet turtle as a child). I love the book and know its creators put a lot of care into it, which is obvious the moment you read it.

Thanks for the write-up, Mr. Chalifour–as well as for your cheerful support and gracious hosting (in both cyber– and blood-space) throughout the project. And the chess games, let’s not forget the chess games.
My daughter Zoe keeps this book on her list of ones to read. Now, she is a four year old girl that loves princesses so any book that she asks to read that does NOT have princesses is a welcome read for me. This is one of the non-princes books that has crept into her rotation. And I love reading it to her. Some books, a lot of princess ones, don’t read easily but A Very Good Day for Turtles is a super read! Thanks David!
