Bartlaby of the Mighty Mississippi

For a short summary, Bartleby is a book about a turtle who dreams of swimming in flowing waters, but he is only a mere pet. One day he is forgotten in a pond and he soon makes a whole bunch of friends. One day he meets a crocodile. The crocodile came from the Mississippi and it wants to eat bartleby because it reminds the crocodile of the turtles in the one good home it had been in before he was taken away. The little turtle did the only thing he could think of and he tells the crocodile that he might know the way back to the Mississippi. Then they go on a big adventure to find it. When bartleby left the pond, it was a little sad because he had made so many great friends and had so much fun with them. Bartleby can barely swim in the fast areas of the steam, so I don't see why he would bother to join the crocodile. The book is a fun book to read. It's low beat but it keeps me quite interested. I'd give it a 9.
