Small Gods – The turtle moves!
Small gods by Terry Pratchett
Momo by Michael Ende.
The turtle Cassiopeia can look about half an hour into the future and she helps Momo.
Discworld In general, specifically small gods.
The Year of the Turtle: A Natural History by David Carroll. The author is a naturalist with a deep love of turtles and the book describes his experiences with various turtles near his home in New Hampshire. His illustrations throughout are really beautiful as well. It’s a slow, deep read. I found it in a used bookstore on vacation last year and really savored it.
Agreeing with “Momo” and “The NeverEnding Story” by Michael Ende also features a turtle, if I’m not mistaken.
