Publisher's Synopsis
A cloud of dust flew off the spot Where little Arch had landed, The eagle looked on stony faced As Archibald expanded. He sucked down in with great aplomb A hefty, laboured breath, Then glanced at Balthazar and quoth: "I'm not afraid of death..." A tussle between the warrior eagle Balthazar and the timid tortoise Archibald becomes an epic battle of... words. Aimed at ages six and above, The Tortoise & The Eagle is the first in the Cracknell's Crazy Creatures series, which focuses on encouraging inquiry, building vocabulary and teaching valuable lessons on respect and morality (but not in a 'heavy' way!). Nick also records bedtime story versions of all his stories, and you can get a free MP3 of The Tortoise & The Eagle by emailing [email protected]
