In this timeless classic by the famed author of Hairy Maclary, a baby turtle makes a perilous journey to the sea.

Lynley Dodd's classic story about a little turtle who hatches late, and must make a dangerous dash to the sea all by himself.
The words in his head became stronger than ever,
'To the SEA - to the SEA.'

The smallest turtle is the last of his family to set out on the journey to the sea. The sand is hot and the danger is great - will he make it to the safety of the ocean?

A beautiful story to read aloud, with illustrations that are sure to awaken and stimulate a child's interest in the wonders of nature.

From Lynley Dodd, the creator of the much-loved Hairy Maclary and Friends series.

Praise for The Smallest Turtle

Lynley Dodd’s picture books are great fun to read aloud...How can you resist language like, “So away he went, skitterscatter…down a gravelly hole…through some prickly grass….” The rhyme, rhythm, and repetition in this story make it fun, too.
