Personal Response: A friend recommended this intriguing book. It is
based off a story by Leo Tolstoy. In this story a young boy asks three
important questions: When is the best time to do things? Who is the most
important one? What is the right thing to do? He obtains his answers by venturing
to see an old wise turtle. This book gives the message that one has to live in
the moment. It is a perfect tale to read to children who are always
questioning.
Student Journal Entry: Imagine you were in the story. How would you
answer the three questions?
Activity: In the story the boy asked the three questions to his animal
friends. Rewrite the story using different animals. How would the answers
change at the beginning?
