The Foolish Tortoise

from Ryan's Room

The Foolish Tortoise by Richard Buckley is a children's book, famously illustrated by Eric Carle, about a tortoise who abandons his shell to be faster but learns the world is dangerous and that his shell is essential for safety and comfort, ultimately returning home. The story uses rhyming couplets to teach a lesson about self-acceptance and the value of home, with the tortoise realizing he's better off slow and protected.
