The patchwork turtles remind me of a poem my mom read to my son when he was just a toddler. I can see them now...sitting on the sofa together. So sweet. 

The Little Turtle

There was a little turtle.

He lived in a box.

He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on the rocks.

He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.

He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.
