Slow Poke College Historian Elaine Kaye

Slow Poke is the slowest turtle. He's slow for everything. One day, a little boy needs him to be fast. Slow Poke doesn't want to disappoint Tommy, but can he be fast? Can he win a race?Elaine Kaye has given the classic story The Tortoise and the Hare a modern take with two turtles racing against each other. Slow Poke gives a sweet look into the friendship a child can have with a turtle, or any animal, and celebrates positive thinking. If you believe you can do something, you will! A Note about the Cover Art and Interior Photography: Elaine Kaye's grandson's drew the turtles on the front and back covers. And the photography inside Slow Poke are real photos, with a little animated effect, of her grandsons and their turtles.
