Why Mom, Why?

This book, Why Mom, Why?, is the story of Chili, a Russian (Horsefield) tortoise. Chili is a very patient tortoise that always waits for her friend Tank to be fed first. She realizes that her mom has a routine to feed Tank first. Mom picks up on Chili's sadness when Chili would sit closer to her while feeding Tank. Chili needed the attention and was passively acting out. This book is about the silent communication between the pet and owner. Why Mom, Why? can be closely related to sibling rivalry in human beings. This is Book Two in the "Where is he? Tank, the Tortoise" series.

My review...

When I first saw this about turtles, I thought this

 might be just a little story, but…it explains so many things in ways children can relate with.

There is information about what turtles eat, information about diseases turtles can get and how to cure it. There’s an understanding of why sometimes we must wait for another person to be first. This can be used as an aid to discuss why we can’t always get all the attention. There are even games with illustrations at the end of the story.

Sounds like something you get your money’s worth for, doesn’t it?
