A classic and lighthearted story about the importance of taking children seriously. Albert Turtle wakes up one morning and complains that he has a toothache. But turtles don't have teeth, as his family gently explains to him, so it's impossible for Albert to have a toothache. Or is it? This endearing tale of one young turtle's struggle to be believed and understood was first published nearly thirty years ago, and has been lovingly reintroduced here for a whole new generation of readers. * First published as Albert's Toothache in 1974, this beloved story is here being reintroduced to a whole new generation of readers. * Bright, engaging artwork. * In its earlier incarnation, this book was named a Best Book of the Year by School Library Journal and a Notable Book by Booklist. * Ideal for parents and teachers as a way to talk to children about the importance of listening to others.
