Amazon.com description: Product Description:
I have always longed for the quiet life. So begins Sunny Boyâs tale. As a young tortoise, he enjoys a peaceful life â inhaling the sweet smell of orchids, reciting Latin, licking stamps â year after quiet year. But fate twists, and our hero falls into the hands of Biff the Brave, an accident-prone performer of daredevil deeds. When Biff attempts his most dangerous stunt â going over Niagara Falls in a barrel â the shy and retiring Sunny Boy is suddenly swept into historyâs limelight. This wild, funny tale is based on the story of an actual tortoise who went over the falls. Exuberant watercolors full of witty details add to this celebration of the adventurous spirit that resides in us all.
