Abraham's Adventure

Abraham was a pet tortoise who yearned for adventure. For years, he went to Kindergarten with his parent and owner- a teacher. In her classroom, Abe could roam ( with a balloon attached) as students worked, or join them on the rug during snack and story time. He even went outside at recess on the playground to wander on warm sunny days.

Abraham had several "great escapes" over the years, both at school and at the author's home. Once making it three blocks from her home, the beloved tortoise appeared on the town's online community page searching for his family. That day he made it safely home in a bucket carried by two teenage girls. The last escape, sadly Abe was never found.

After he was gone, Alison was encouraged by friends, neighbors and co-workers to use her creative imagination to write this story about Abe, the adventurous tortoise loved by so many.
