Wikipedia
Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories is a picture book with three stories: “Yertle the Turtle”, “Gertrude McFuzz” and “The Big Brag”.
Though it contains three short stories, it is mostly known for its first story, "Yertle the Turtle", in which the eponymous Yertle, king of the pond, stands on his subjects in an attempt to reach higher than the moon—until the bottom turtle burps and he falls into the mud, ending his rule.
