This ‘Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Storybook Collection’ tells you all there is to know about the fight between good and evil in the Turtles’ world that revolves around their sewer where they have grown up.

This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles book features six adventures where Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello — with April’s help — save the city from different kinds of villains. There is an adventure where they battle multiple villains so that their secret lair remains secret, then they save the city’s water supply from getting mutated twice, and even battle creatures that could have led others towards their hideout and to Master Splinter.
