Wauwatosa WI: Little Tiger Press, (1996) dj. Hardcover first edition - Written for very young readers this is a humorous story about a tortoise who is not ready to hibernate. "'Ridiculous!' say her parents. All the animals she encounters claim that she is 'Ridiculous!' They point out that she cannot use her beak to find food like a duck, run around to keep warm like a dog, run into a nice warm house like a cat, or fly like a bird. Determined, Shelley trudges along until she hits a patch of ice at the top of a hill. Sliding down and reaching her home at the bottom, she proves that her shell is a very effective tool, leaving her snuggled up warmly for the rest of the winter. Williamson's watercolor cartoons are full of whimsy and humor." (School Library Journal) Square format, unpaginated. ISBN: 1-854302833.
