How Tortoise tricked the birds

£5.99

Here is a humourous and lively African folktale, specially adapted for children just beginning to read. With colour illustrations on every page, this is another addition to the 'Usborne First Reading' series. Find out what happens when trickster Tortoise joins the birds at the Great Feast in the sky, and then gobbles ALL of the food. Perhaps it's time for Tortoise to be tricked too?

We dispatch pre-orders on the date the book is published. We use Royal Mail second-class in the UK, and send books via standard international delivery to the EU and the rest of the world. In the UK delivery should take 3-4 days, in the rest of the world it could be a week or two.
