About this title

About the Author:

Carolyn L. Ahern is a wife, homemaker, and Registered Nurse, with a BA in psychology. The idea for TINO TURTLE TRAVELS series of books came to her as a perfect way to share her travels with children. As an advocate of early childhood literacy, she has lovingly developed the character TINO TURTLE, desert tortoise, and adventure traveler. With each book, she hopes to nurture children's minds with true and historical facts about their new travel destination. By making each travel book an adventure of learning, sharing, fun and excitement, it is her hope that with Tino...she can bring far away places...home to the children. To complete a child's experience, each title of the Tino Turtle Travels series of books include a themed musical CD with reading and Tino's sing-along song "My name is Tino Turtle..."
