The Runaway Menagerie: Mama & Baby Tortoise by Ana Paula Rimoli

The Runaway Menagerie: Mama & Baby Tortoise

The animals have escaped the zoo and are on their own adventures! The pandas are spending the day in the park while the lion signs up for the circus, and the monkey is taking his show on the road while the tortoises make a trip to the seashore. Everyone is having a grand old time—and so can you, if you stitch up your own zoo crew!
