A sequel to Tidy Up Trevor set in the winter this time. I'm not sure whether turtles can actually live in the cold or not but, well, they don't wear clothes and live in houses either, so I don't suppose it matters. Like most sequels, this one didn't do as well as the first one, but it certainly wasn't a flop. A lot of the scenes were local. Not Northern Canada as one reviewer thought. The one below was painted from a photo I took of the River Wye near Rhayader.

Reviews
This is a pleasant story about wanting to please someone, and caring how they feel. The illustrations show a likable family of tortoises (!) whose simplified features manage to show differences in age as well as feelings and reactions. The events take place in winter and there are some delightful snow scenes. There are also some interesting details such as the lily pad used as a punt, and the various household items in the tortoises' rooms. The gentle storyline is suitable for older pre-school children and infants. -THE JUNIOR BOOKSHELF
The lovable star of Tidy Up Trevor is back....Super pictures. BELFAST NEWSLETTER
This book is about a talking tortoise called Trevor. He is brown, green, round and glum and feels left out because he can't make anything for his ill granny. I liked the end because Trevor made a snowman Trevor for his granny. I would recommend this book to four to five-year-olds in Year one. I would give this book 10/10. JUNIOR REVIEWS.

The pictures, with their clear, bright colours, are at once funny and delectable. OBSERVER
