The Little Turtle

The Little Turtle
a poem by Vachel Lindsay


 There was a little turtle.


He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on the rocks.


He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.


He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.


He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.


Soft book created and quilted by me.

That is so cute and amazing! You are so talented. I would love to make something like this for my kids. (maybe someday i will have the skills...)

You need to patent that idea & sell it. Seriously - send it to someone who publishes children's books - that's adorable.
