“Mr. Tortuga, come out of your shell. I want to play ball with you,” said the little Boston Terrier.

Bubby is a desert tortoise who arrives at his brand-new home in a shoebox. When he’s not sure he’s strong enough to crawl all the way to his cozy burrow in his Sonoran Desert habitat, he meets a cactus wren who cheers him on and becomes his first new friend. As time passes, Bubby makes more friends who band together for safety and companionship. Through both their play and the obstacles they overcome, Bubby learns what it means to trust his friends, but most importantly, to trust himself! Much of this story is based on true events the author witnessed while gardening. You will smile when you read the garden hose scene and when Bubby meets Bebe, the Boston Terrier.
