Unpredictable adventures of a tortoise. Love the sly Curious George inspired illustrations on some pages.

Good book for a storytime. Exciting, good pictures. Based on a true story.
Sunny Boy wishes for a quiet life. All was okay until he outlived his gentle owners and Biff the Brave adopted him. Sunny Boy was surprised when he got a thrill out of going over Niagra Falls in a barrel.

This is a fun and somewhat wacky story of Sunny Boy, a tortoise who outlives a horticulurist, a stamp collector, and a Latin scholar until finally he comes to live with a daredevil who takes Sunny Boy along when he goes over Niagara Falls. There is an author note at the end explaining that there really was a tortoise named Sunny Boy who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel with his owner. Wow! Just based on the facts given in the author note, I think the story of the real Sunny Boy might be even more interesting than this fictionalized version.
