Riassunto

It is Flag Day in Mexico City and Tino and friends are dancing to the sounds of the Mariachi band in a fun fiesta. Take a swing at a piñata during a fun city adventure. Dig for treasures at the City of the Gods. Find out how our hero Tino saves ChiChi, the Chihuahua, from drowning! Suddenly, Tino’s Fairy God Turtle appears again to remind him it’s time to return to his desert burrow.Tino Turtle is not like other turtles. He is unique. Many times, when entering his burrow for his long winter sleep, he wished to travel and see the world. Finally, his Fairy God Turtle grants his wish. Now this endearing character fulfills his fantasy and mission...to meet new friends and travel to far away places. He explores historical landmarks and the culture of other people around the world. He teaches his readers facts about new cities in an exciting way by taking them on an ‘adventure in travel.’ Tino sincerely hopes that his readers will enjoy his stories and find them to be a truly fun experience. He appreciates and thanks all his friends for joining him on his ‘travel adventures.’ The character of Tino Turtle was inspired and created by author Carolyn L. Ahern, who lives in Nevada. Tino is a young tortoise from the Mojave Desert. A tortoise is a type of land dwelling turtle. He has a high domed shell and elephant shaped hind legs that help him withstand the intense heat of the desert. Tino, like most desert tortoises, spends most of his time in his underground burrow and hibernates there during the cold winter. He is never in a hurry to find water because he can wait a year or more between drinks. Most of the moisture in his diet comes from the grasses and plants that he eats in the spring. Tino lives very comfortably in extreme conditions of the desert and will likely live to the ripe old age of about 100 years.Tino Turtle invites adventurous children and their parents to enjoy a magical series of original stories. These charmingly written and wonderfully illustrated travel tales teach children about actual locations in amazing cities around the world. Join Tino Turtle on his visits and learn historical and cultural highlights of favorite attractions. Each new tale will leave Tino’s world-travel companions with a vision of another wonderful destination!
