Join us for a book club designed for children with autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing sensitivities, or disabilities. This month, we read aloud, talk about, and complete activities based on the book So Tortoise Dug by Emmy Kastner. Caregivers are encouraged to attend with their child; siblings are also welcome.
Tortoise and Mouse are more than just friends and burrowmates. They are best friends and best burrowmates. When their home gets flooded, however, it’s up to Tortoise to dig them a new place to live. And so she digs a room of her own and a room for Mouse. But where is Mouse?
Noticing the fresh burrow, Bunny asks Tortoise if she could dig a room for her as well. Then the Spotted Skunk. The Mole Skinks. And the Wolf Spider, the Frog, and those moths…So Tortoise digs. Seemingly everyone else wants to be her burrowmate except for Mouse—where did she go?
