Seller's description:
Is this Tortoise looking for a hare to race? This silk-screened, suede-cloth puppet is just one step away from nature. Head & front legs articulate or retract into shell completely. Movable head, arms and legs. Pulls into shellFACTS OF INTERESTThe 41 species of tortoise live on land in warm areas of the world. The smallest are four inches across, and the biggest are four feet across.Because their shells protect them so well against enemies, tortoises are slow movers. The desert tortoise walks one mile in nine hours.Tortoises are very long-lived. Many can live to be 100 years old; some can probably live to be 200.Sixteen out of eighteen species of Giant tortoise are already extinct and many others are endangered. Tortoises need protection to survive.

Editorial Review:
This 13-inch-long tortoise puppet has a soft green reptilian body, gleaming brown eyes, and a smooth, beige suede tortoise shell. With your help, Tortoise can creep along at her leisurely pace (about a mile every 9 hours, according to the tortoise fact sheet printed on her label), or, if she senses danger, quickly retract her head and front legs into her shell, a skill which makes her particularly well-suited for games of peekaboo. A mature and sage-looking creature, Tortoise makes a terrific trouper for your puppet show, or simply a fun take-along friend (talk to her in the car, she's a great listener). Be sure to check out Tortoise's label for fascinating facts about tortoises as well as the Hottentot version of the famous "Tortoise and the Hare" folktale. --Elisabeth Fredrickson
