The Kingdom Under the Sea

Well dear reader, the summer is starting to wind down but there's still time for a couple of beach visits and a few tuck-you-in-summer-night-tales.

Here's a perfect set of folktales to share in your cottage by the sea;  The Little Mermaid and other Fish Tales, written and illustrated by Jane Ray.

I often see Sea Turtles when I visit my family in Hawaii and I think of this story when I do. I think the moral of the story is "be nice to turtles" and "I told you not to open that box!"

Maybe you can practice your spiffy new harmonica or recorder you won this summer in our Summer Reading Game afterwards.  Who knows what creatures you might lure up onto the beach with your music? Oh, sorry about the light rays reflecting on the pictures; it's super hard taking pictures with just a cell phone under water. {wink} Miss Kitty
