It's Mr. Tortoise's birthday and time for cake. But how many candles does the cake need? Mr. Tortoise doesn't remember how old he is so he and the partygoers try various ways to figure his age before they have the cake.

From the author of I Don't Want to Be a Frog comes a hilarious new picture book that asks readers to solve one very important mystery It's Mr. Tortoise's birthday, and he can't wait to eat cake with his friends. But there's a hitch! Mr. Tortoise can't remember how old he is, so his friends don't know how many candles to put on the cake. And they won't stop (or slice) until they figure out the mystery. Could Mr. Tortoise be as many years old as there are sections on his shell? He's twice as big as the smaller tortoise . . . so is he twice as old? After the partygoers work through a variety of possibilities, they find their way to the answer with a simple bit of addition. With text from I Don't Want to Be a Frog author Dev Petty and hilarious graphic novel--style illustrations from Ruth Chan, How Old Is Mr. Tortoise? will have readers guessing the answer from beginning to end.
