New Kid in School John Gargus

This is the third of five stories I wrote for my grandsons Dylan and Kemper while they were students at the Montessori School of Rome in Georgia. Their mother, Miss Dolores, was a schoolteacher there. This is an educational story featuring the same set of jungle characters as the previous stories and introducing a physically challenged newcomer, Turtle TUTTLE, who can barely walk because of his flattened butterfly-like feet. On his first day in school TUTTLE learns why birds can fly and becomes convinced that the same principles of flight should apply to him and that he should also be able to fly. Is he right?
