Space Tortoise is a children's book written by Ross Montgomery that tells the story of a lonely tortoise who lives in an abandoned park. Surrounded by broken old rides and litter, the tortoise has never seen another animal and spends his days looking at the stars, dreaming of a friend he can find in space. One day, he finds a red rocket ship that has been discarded, and he decides to embark on a journey to the stars to find a friend. Along the way, he encounters various obstacles and learns that the rocket is not real, but he also discovers that he doesn't need to travel to space to find companionship. The story is a heartwarming tale about hope, perseverance, and the power of imagination, as well as the importance of friendship and community.
