Furious Turtle
When everything goes wrong for Turtle during the school carnival, he becomes shell-shakingly furious. How will he get through the rest of this obnoxious day?
This second book in the Forest School of Big Feelings series from Lisa Frenkel Riddiough and Andrea Tsurumi offers a relatable look at tackling big feelings, losing with grace, and discovering your own calm in the face of chaos.
The carnival was just beginning.
Turtle had grand plans for winning!
He tried to hit the striker bell
but accidentally whacked his shell.
From arcade games to the beanbag toss,
Turtle’s fury grew with each upsetting loss.
What is Turtle to do when his fishing pole breaks, he isn’t the winner of the drawing contest, his number isn’t chosen during the prize walk, and the arcade machine won’t accept his token?
He gets frustrated, flabbergasted, and, of course, furious!
But with help from his teacher, Ms. Bunny, Turtle learns how to transform his anger into peace.
