Turtle and Snake Fix It

(3) K-3 Viking Easy-to-Read series. Patient Snake good-naturedly puts up with Turtle's clumsy attempts to fix things around Snake's house. Using his hammer, Turtle makes a left-tilting shelf tilt right; he saws the legs off of an uneven chair; and unhinges a hard-to-open door. Turtle's comical attempts are pictured in bright, childlike illustrations, which include visual clues to help new readers decipher the text.
