Timothy Turtle.

This 1947 Caldecott Honors Book has delightful rhymes and pleasing illustrations. --- "Irresistible verse destined to be sung and shouted all over the house, and pictures full of fun and laughter tell what happened when Timothy Turtle decided to be an adventurer. Took-a-look Lake and the business firm of Turtle and Drake, with Timothy climbing the hill near by, belong among the favorite picture books in every household of children. The verse is exceedingly clever and musical as well as amusing, and the drawings are both funny and knowledgeable." - Horn Book
