Description
Super Mega Tortoise loves to crush cities and cause chaos! But perhaps he just needs a friend to teach him how to have fun in a kinder way...
Meet Super Mega Tortoise, a loveable young city-crushing king of giants, whose favourite activities include throwing boats, harassing busy humans, and terrorising the ducks at the park. When he meets Sakura, maths-whizz, and their friendship grows, she soon teaches him that there are far better ways to have fun. But when Super Mega Tortoise sets out prove to the city that he's changed, will they accept him for who he really is?
Inspired by movie monsters like Godzilla, this is a picture book for all budding fans of comic books and anime.
