Mike and Pinky live in a pond with Mother Turtle, Father Turtle, and all of their woodland friends. But when bulldozers come and build over their home, the two young turtles (Mike and Pinky) must find a new place to live. Along the way, they learn the meaning of cooperation, self-reliance, and friendship. For children at ages 3-10 . "The story has an important message about the impact of industrialization on the environment while still maintaining an appropriately light atmosphere for young children. Finally, the ultimate lesson - home is where love resides - is a timeless message that remains important today." Tania Staley for Readers' Favorite
