1974, Dutton
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Doug Cushman. A turtle can't convince his family that he has a toothache because they all know that turtles don't have teeth. Albert's grandmother finally takes time to listen carefully and discovers that Albert's toe has a toothache, because a gopher bit him. New cartoon-style illustrations enliven this edition of a story that goes on a little too long before reaching its lighthearted conclusion.
