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.

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

- Turtle puppet a hit with toddler
My 2 year old grandson loves the "todo." It has lots of personality and is easy to work, even in his little hand. He loves its snuggly, soft body. It's a "must see" whenever he visits. Very well made, sturdy, holds up well.

Rating:

- Good for therapy
It is difficult to rate for the long term as I gave it to someone after using it. It was very helpful in a therapeutic setting. The turtle was very good for demonstrating protection to a child.

- Mine is called Einstein
I named my Folkmanis tortoise "Einstein". He has helped me teach about tortoises, of course. He can pull his head into his shell! But he also helps talk about being shy, and teaches that everyone works at his or her own pace, but we all can succeed. He's small, and easy for little hands, but he fits adult hands too. What will you name yours?
