Great Travel Story for Kids October 6, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Tino Turtle's adventures in London take the reader on a wonderful ride through the cultural differences one finds when visiting England. The clever illustrations of Neallia Burt Sullivan bring the story to life as the inquisitive desert tortoise visits an English classroom, sees Big Ben and even gets a picture of the Changing of the Guard. The end of the book finds the traveling turtle back in his dessert burrow with expectations of future travels. A great book to introduce children to cultural diversity, geography and travel.
Along with the book comes a CD that contains both a sing-along and the story read aloud by Las Vegas voice personality Ryan Ahern. The combination of CD and book make the Travels of Tino Turtle an instant hit with children and parents alike.
At Neighbors Bookstore we had the good fortune to have both the author and narrator in the store for an afternoon of signing, reading and delights. During their visit Carolyn and Ryan put on a thoroughly professional and entertaining show that kept the customers and staff enthralled for hours. Carolyn is a delight to work with and Ryan Ahern gives the stories a whole new dimension with sound effects and vocalizations.

My children love Tino the Turtle! It is an excellent book for teaching children about geography and history. We have read both Tino Travels to London and Tino Travels to Paris. Each book comes with a CD that plays the Tino the Turtle song and reads the story to your child. My children love to listen to the book on CD at home and in the car. I would highly recommend these books.
Tino Turtle Rocks the World! September 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a certified K-12 teacher and independent Educational Consultant, I have seen first-hand how this book educates children about culture, history, geography, language, and even music in the most entertaining and fun manner. Teachers, as well as children, enjoy the Tino Turtle Travels...series because of the beautiful fit into a variety of disciplines.
Additionally, as the mother of a five year old, I enthusiastically recommend this book selection to anyone who would like to capture a young mind and inspire the adventure of world exploration. My son has learned to sing Tino's song, to speak a few words of French, and he can even find France on a globe! Children and adults will find this book fun and exciting in many ways.
I can't wait until the Mexico City, Kenya, and Bejiing come out!
What a great concept!! August 3, 2007

The Tino Turtle books (England and France) are just too adorable. The illustration is amazing...and the story is cute and so informative...I felt like I, myself, went to these places...
The CD that comes with it, is very helpful and really good, because I can put it into the player and the music plays, my kid dances along and then the story is being read and you hear sound effects, etc...
This would be great for schools and daycares...I can visualize kids sitting in the circle and listening to the story while looking at the pictures...
I would like to highly recommend the Tino Turtle Travels books to any parent and teacher...for kids from very young to teens...even adults as you will learn about the city...The Paris one even has some French language with glossary and all...([...]).
I hope that more of these books come out soon...I'd love to travel to Italy...
Loved it!! What a fun way to learn about London's highlights... June 20, 2007
A friend gave me Tino Turtle Travels to London and told me that I had to read this and to be sure to also listen to the CD...
She was right...I had to read and listen to this...
This book is adorable, cute, funny, yet very informative...I felt like I was getting a history lesson without going to school. Best yet, my friend told me that her kids loved it so much, they keep asking when they can go to London as they want to see what Tino got to see.
Not only that, but this book comes with a CD where Tino sings a song and since the book has the sheet music in it, you and your kids can easily sing along...which is fun...In addition, there is a reading of the story on the CD with sound effects and all. A 'ding' sound will tell you to turn the page, which allows your kids to read along, and it will improve their reading skills as well.
The CD is fun, whether you just listen to it, or read along...I mean, it has the sound of Big Ben on there...how cool is that? I have never been to England and therefore not been to London...I have to admit that I did not know too many details about the monuments there...Yet, after reading Tino's adventure...I not only felt as if I just went there, but being an adult, I still learned a great deal about London's history, and it makes me want to go there, like now...(and I never had any interest to go there, but now I do)...
I can't wait for the Paris version...which will come out soon, I heard...I bet that it will be just as fun...and maybe we'll get to learn some French words as well...
I can highly recommend this book to kids and adults...It educates the reader in such cute and fun way, it makes you want to travel along.
Sleep well, Tino...Until next time you travel...I'll be there! I wouldn't want to miss it.
Thanks for a wonderful book and cd...I am looking forward to the next book of the Tino Turtle seriea...and next and next and next...
