A Home For Turtle

Written by Kerrie Shanahan Illustrated by Chantal Stewart

One day I saw a turtle in the park.

“Can I have this turtle for a pet?” I said.

“No,” said Dad. “We do not have a pond.

A turtle must have water to swim in.”

“Let’s go to the pond,” I said.

So Dad and I went to the pond.

I let the turtle go.

The turtle jumped into the pond.

“A pond is the best spot for this turtle,” I said.
