Before Reading
Meet Stephen Michael King. He is the author and illustrator of this beautiful book.
Stephen has an amazing love of art and books. When he was 8 he became deaf and it was 5 years before he had a hearing aid. While he was deaf he didn't really talk to others. He turned to books and art to communicate. He developed a real love of writing and drawing. Click here to see some of his books. You will recognise many of them. |

Activity
Use two hoops to make a venn diagram.
Place the picture of the turtle on one hoop and the picture of the snail on the other one.
Children take turns to read the cards and place them in the correct hoop. Some of the cards will belong in the intersecting part because both characters like to do some of the same things.
