A New York Times Bestseller! A silly story with bright, engaging illustrations and expressive, rhyming text that children will want to read—and giggle through—again and again.

The tortoise stops for every last timid mouse and bumblebee, shouting his rhyming good-byes, making you wonder if, perhaps, he’s stalling the start of his trip.

With each farewell, the tortoise’s good-byes get sillier and more creative. When will the good-byes end and the adventure begin? Read more
