Description
In Tortoises at the Zoo, learn about one of the longest-living land animals. A tortoise is a turtle, but not all turtles are tortoises. When you get a group of tortoises together, it’s called a creep. Maybe that’s because tortoises are thought to be slow moving? Tortoises at the Zoo, part of At the Zoo Set 3, is a nonfiction/informational, H leveled, Upper Emergent title.
