Start Reading Purple Animal School The Speedy Tortoise

Animal School is a series of four books at Purple Band 8 of the Start Reading programme. The stories centre around the animals at Animal School. Each character is the opposite of what you would expect- a cowardly lion, a speedy tortoise, a pig who doesn't like getting dirty and a frog who is afraid of the water.

Tessie the tortoise loves to race everywhere and it gets her into all sorts of scrapes!
