Truman by Jean Reidy, Lucy Ruth Cummins
4.0

Age: Preschool-2nd grade
Animals: Pet turtle
School: First day of school

It's Sarah's first day of school, but her pet turtle doesn't know that. As the day stretches on, and Truman begins to connect the suspicious dots, he makes a valiant effort to go downstairs and take the Number 11 bus to wherever Sarah went. But before he manages to leave the apartment, Sarah returns home. Large, not overly-complex words make this a suitable early reader for children accompanied by a heart-warming story.
