Total copies: 1
This is a funny and heartfelt picture book about the friendship between a girl and her pet turtle - told from both points of view - by the author-illustrator of 'Fraidyzoo' and 'The Bear Report'. Nia loves Alfie, her pet turtle. But he's not very soft, he doesn't do tricks, and he's pretty quiet. Sometimes she forgets he's even there! That is until the night before Nia's seventh birthday, when nAlfie disappears! Then, in an innovative switch in point of view, we hear Alfie's side of the story. He didn't leave Nia-he's actually searching for the perfect birthday present for his dear friend. Can he find a gift and make it back in time for the big birthday party? From the author-illustrator of Fraidyzoo and The Bear Report comes a warm and funny ode to friendship-even when the friends see the relationship, and the world, very differently.
