About this ebook
These tales were written so a parent or parents could read a chapter to their children right before bedtime. The Flesch Reading Ease is rated at 88. The actual, vocalized, storytelling time is approximately two hours.
While staying whimsical, some words venture up to the fourth-grade level. This was done intentionally, so the mother or father and child(ren) may interact throughout the book to increase your child’s vocabulary and understandings. The character names of the two storyboard tykes can be substituted with identities or nicknames more meaningful to your children. Such as brothers, sisters, and neighborhood friends.
This delightful story is centered around a magical turtle and inquisitive kids. You open the pages to find the distressed loggerhead crying out for help, while stuck upside down in a seashore crevice. Don’t you know, even enchanted turtles can’t perform any magic when they are caught or flipped over on their back?
Enter our heroes, Dick and Jane, to tug and twist the helpless creature to freedom. The amphibian protects them with white-magic spells, and off they go off on an adventure or two. Along the way, you and they will swim among the sea life and even walk on the ocean’s floor enjoying the embedded color renderings.
But everybody needs to be careful. Mysterious islands are on the horizon. Volcanoes might erupt without notice. Beautiful, but steamy jungles are full of exotic creatures. After finding a half-buried chest down the sandy shore, the kids are captured by a band of pirates. Woe to them. With their marvelous friend still enjoying a needed snooze, the tykes are delivered into the hands of Captain Pegleg.
The Skipper and crew, being stranded on that island for decades, shackled the youngsters. Then tried to force them to reveal where their boat was stashed. After all, the children had to have cruised over somehow? Of course, the pirates did not believe they had swum and walked the ocean floor from the mainland to the pirate’s lair.
Meanwhile, after awakening, the turtle changed into a toucan to find the kids. After all, a flying toucan can search faster than a lumbering sea-turtle. Unfortunately, the bird was seized and not able to employ magic until it ‘Poofed’ and reverted into the turtle’s natural, hard shelled, body.
They forced the kids to dive for the pirate’s treasure. Danger lurks in and around the sunken timbers of the decaying ship. Yet, as in all good, bedtime stories, everything works out just fine in the end.
