Hebrew Turtle Story


Shalom!
I can't read Hebrew, but i can definitely look at pretty pictures!

Found in the thriftstore. Dated 1977.

Going through the pages, back to front, what i think the story is about, is a young boy has to move house and packs all his toys and when he unpacks the turtle is gone.
Hm. Not really an obvious plot for a children's story. Where's the happy ending? Then again, there might be some very wise words that go along the illustrations, and my version of the turtle story most likely not even resembles what is really going on.

Nonetheless, i'm happy with my turtle book and its gorgeous pictures!

Lucky you I'm from Israel! ;)

"What is it?" - asked Hagai.
"What is it?" - asked Dana.
"What is it?" - asked Ella.
"It's a turtle", said Oren. "I invited it\him yesterday.
Right mom?"
"Right."

The cover says this:
"Oren's turtle", written by Mira Meir, painted by Ora Ayal.

I love this story!
