The Adventures of Hooey and Friends
Iris Allyn Klipp
Hardcover
(Page Publishing, Inc., April 10, 2019)
Young children will identify with Hooey, a turtle, as he attempts to avoid trouble by hiding in his shell, with his best friend, Truey, who is loyal; Mac, as he welcomes mischief; and Myrtle the Turtle, who accepts and includes Mac in their circle of friends. As a didactic teaching tool, children, teachers, and parents will be delighted with the storyline, moral themes, illustrations, colors, and rhyming words. -Janet Sage, retired reading special education resource specialist, K-12
