Emma's turtle lives in a backyard pen. He enjoys snacks that Emma feeds him. He also loves to listen to Emma as she tells him about faraway places such as Africa, Australia, and China. Emma's turtle has a good life, but he often dreams of those faraway places. One day he decides to stop dreaming and see the world beyond his pen. Eve Bunting's adorable story of an adventurous turtle is delightfully illustrated by Marsha Winborn.
