review:
'Rodney Was a Tortoise' by Nan Forler with illustrations by Yong Ling Kang is a picture books for young readers about a girl who loses someone very precious to her.

Bernadette has a pet tortoise named Rodney and they are best friends. He's great at staring contests, but eats pretty slowly. Rodney is pretty old, and it seems like he will be around forever, until he isn't. Now Bernadette has to figure out how to live without Rodney and that is really hard.

This book made me ugly cry, and that is wonderful. I really felt for poor Bernadette and her loss. The illustrations are really quite nice. This may not be a book for every occasion, but I think it's probably the right one for some.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
