Life in the Slow Lane: A Desert Tortoise Tale is by Conrad J. Storad and illustrated by Nathaniel P. Jensen, published by Bobolink Media in 2005. A young tortoise listens as her grandpa explains who they are, what daily life is like for a tortoise in the Sonoran Desert and how their family fits together.
Respect for nature runs through the story. Its rhyming verse makes it a good read-aloud before a trip to the desert Southwest or a visit to a tortoise at a zoo or nature center.
