"Delightful and hilarious."—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED Review

Featuring a rogue group of determined animals who love nothing more than a challenge and a flustered, helpless narrator, this hilarious picture book about animal habitats on every continent will have kids (and their adults!) laughing every time they pick it up.

Turtles are found on every continent EXCEPT Antarctica. But not for long!

When a David Attenborough-esque narrator explains that turtles are found everywhere except Antarctica, one determined turtle sets out to prove him wrong. After recruiting other non-Antarctic animals along the way—much to the narrator's dismay—the turtle and his adventurous friends travel through fields, forests, and cross an entire ocean to reach their goal. But what exactly do they do once they get there?

Perfect for anyone who's ever gone a little too far to prove a point, this nature-documentary-gone-wrong is a gleefully funny lesson in persistence—and the beauty of having a contingency plan
