Book Cover & Preview Text
I was having a GREAT day!Papa and I were walking by the shore of the Great Sea. Walking with Papa is my most favorite thing to do. He tells me stories as we walk on the warm wet sand with little waves splashing around our ankles. Today, he was telling about the cargo ships and the stuff they were carrying.
"Look, out by the horizon, what do you see?" Papa was squinting into the sun. I looked to see where he was pointing and all I saw was a small dot.
"Is it a ship coming into port?" It was hard to tell what it was with the sun in my face.
Papa had a very strange look on his face. "It looks to me it is a big fish," he said half to himself.
"But Papa," I said, "that fish would need to be really, Really, REALLY big! I stretched m arms as far as I could to show him.
We kept on walking down the shore. I ran on ahead of Papa looking for treasures that the sea had washed up.
"Look Papa" I said pointing to a pile of clothes. I forgot all about the ships as I began to look to see what was there. Then the pile of clothes moved!
"Papa, Papa!" I ran back to him. "The clothes are moving. I'm scared. I was out of breath.
