The Story of Neeps and Tattie is about two rescued tortoises who have lived for over 50 years in Annie McKay's flower garden, near the shores of Loch Ness, in Scotland. The book chronicles the antics of the tortoises throughout the year. Children will learn about the habitat and behavior of land tortoises, characteristics of the seasons of the year, and facts about Scotland's geography, history, and culture. Crafts for kids will be available!
