5Stars: Life lessons on honoring agreements, and on greed and selfishnes
By Grady Harp (Amazon HALL OF FAME, TOP 100 REVIEWER, VINE VOICE)
The Tales of Kanji place animals as characters and it is the colorful use of alliterative names Eke assigns to the various animals that enhances the charm of his story.
5Stars: Four and a Half Stars (rounded off to five)
By Maynard F. Allington
In this charming little fable, Tobi's story has a sharp moral edge about community, the danger of selfishness, and the importance of sharing. The story line moves at a pace that will capture the imagination and hold the attention of a small child. Wonderfully suited to a second or third grade reader.

5Stars: A Beautiful, Appealing Book
By Celia Carlile "Artist and Illustrator"
Mama, who tells the story is a wise, endearing woman and I love that she questions the children at the end about what they learned from the tale.
4Stars: Nice story with Moral Lessons
By TheLooseScrew "Athena"
The front and back covers of The Turtle's Shell are illustrated in color, and the illustrations throughout the inside of the book are in black and white, perfect for coloring. This wasn't a quick read for me and my 11-year-old son-it took us a few nights to finish the entire 44 page story. My son enjoyed the story and never lost interest. We are looking forward to reading the next book in the series, The Golden Bird.
