When young Leonardo da Vinci, a busboy, was asked to make turtle soup, one of the turtles begged for his life! It was Tuttle. Tuttle, tried to convince Leonardo that there is a big world out there, and he could show him all about it, if he would just take a chance.
In this comic misadventure series, we explain why Leonardo da Vinci stood out from the rest; a 16th century mind, able to solve 20th century problems and beyond. How did he do it? Who was his muse? The answer is Tuttle, an ancient turtle, who was the secret muse and mentor of a young Leonardo da Vinci.
This is the first in a series of children's fiction books "Leonardo's Secret Clean Up Your Act!" following the life of "Tuttle the Turtle". A turtle who lived so long, he evolved into an independent thinking and speaking mastermind. Follow Tuttle as he influences many famous and sometimes infamous people throughout history.
Young Leonardo and Tuttle are faced with dilemmas that cause them to create wondrous inventions, so far ahead of their time, that no one else sees them for the grand ideas they really are. Through humor and chaos, Leonardo's inventions come to life, only to find out that everyone one else sees them for something different in the end.
Together, Leonardo and Tuttle embark on colorful and unpredictable adventures that allow for delightful family entertainment, while taking a fresh look at some of da Vinci’s 6,000 most imaginative inventions!

Leonardo Secret Clean Up Your Act! edition by Clarence Sheridan Desta Sheridan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A clever premise, that an ancient turtle is behind Leonardo da Vinci's greatest inventions, makes this a charming and "inventive" page-turner. My kids and I enjoyed Tuttle's adventures and can't wait to see what he comes up with next!
When Leonardo da Vinci, a busboy, was asked to make turtle soup one of the turtles begs for his life. It's Tuttle, a turtle who has lived so long he evolved into an independent thinking and speaking mastermind. Tuttle tries to convince Leonardo that there is a big world out there, and he could show Leonardo all about it, if he would just take a chance.
This is the first book in a series of children's books to follow the life of `Tuttle the Turtle.' In each new book, Tuttle will influence the famous and the infamous throughout history. Leonardo de Vinci is Tuttle's first famous individual.
Leonardo da Vinci is a young man working as a busboy when he finds Tuttle close to becoming turtle soup. Tuttle convinces Leonardo to leave the restaurant and take a job with Verrocchio, an inventor, who usually invents for the Medici family who rule the city. When Lorenzo "the Magnificent" Medici needs something, Verrocchio waits for Leonardo to invent a new contraption. Leonardo can only make these because of Tuttle's vast knowledge and experience, but no one knows about Tuttle except Leonardo.
Lorenzo's spoilt daughter cannot believe Leonardo could possibly be inventing anything without a formal education, like her own. For some reason this really vexes Catherine. She has her personal assistant spy on Leonardo, but Isabella finds out nothing. The Golden Fall Festive Lorenzo stages each year is happening soon. Lorenzo needs a special invention from Verrocchio, but we do not know what Lorenzo needs, nor does Leonardo or Tuttle. Still, Leonardo has ideas, as does Tuttle, so they enter their secret room to invent a new contraption for Lorenzo. One of them makes the ruler very happy and his daughter extremely unhappy.
I liked this story very much. I think the story is well-written and has humor, surprises, dramatic moments, and is simply fun to read. Leonardo's Secret gives kids a side of Leonardo da Vinci they can relate to and see as a human and not just someone in their history or science book. The illustrations in the version are black and white and have fullness to them. Maybe the correct thing to say is they have dimension. Leonardo is lively, though bug-eyed, and looks as close to alive as an illustration can. Online, at the book's website, the same illustrations look sort of like clay-mation. The illustrations are simply lively, even in black and white.
The only thing I did not like was the ending. It came on suddenly like an old picture that pops up a sign saying "The End." There is at least one plot left hanging. What happens to Catherine's suspicions of Leonardo? Does she ever figure out he is getting help from a turtle, inform her father and then shine in his eyes? Did her Isabella ever find out anything from spying? How does Tuttle leave Leonardo to go on to the next famous person in history? There are so many questions left unanswered that book two won't answered unless it, too, is about Leonardo. Plus, a good story does not need to state "The End." In a good story, the reader knows when it is the end. There is a natural end that arrives after all conflicts are resolved; all loose threads neatly tied.
That said, I still really enjoyed this story. I hope Tuttle makes a second visit to Leonardo. Until then, I highly recommend Leonardo's Secrets Clean up Your Act! However, I have no idea what the sub-title is about; Clean up Your Act! Leonardo's secret is Tuttle. How Leonardo is to clean up his act is . . . now I get it, but cannot give it away. No matter, Leonardo's Secret, with or without Clean up Your Act! is a lively, fun read that kids are going to enjoy reading. The authors know kids well, maybe from working with Disney. They understand what kids like to read and made enjoyable characters with distinctive voices the reader can care about. I think this will be a favorite series in libraries, with kids, and with parents who can know their child is reading something worthwhile.
Note received version from the author, Clarence Sheridan
Great story I love the end and the pictures u should read this book I read very little and I want to read a lot from this book. READ IT!!!!
I downloaded this for my ten year old son. He highly enjoyed reading it. I would recommend it for other kids his age.
My son had to read a book that was historical fiction. Based upon the description and the cool- looking cover, he chose this book. He didn't like it all! I think it may be because there was an abundance of Italian words that he wasn't familiar with that made this book boring to him. He likes turtles and even has a pet turtle. So, I thought the idea of Leonardo de Vinci having a turtle for a muse would interest him - it did not!
Very fun reading book for children and adults. I enjoyed it just as much as my son.
Sometimes you find books that are fun. Sometimes you find books you learn from. Now here we have both qualities in one book.
Recommended.
My son really enjoyed this book. It was an imaginative and fun read! Nice illustrations too.
