Swashby and the Sea

Swashby loves the sea, and he lives near the sea all on his own. He doesn’t want to be bothered by anyone. One day, a little girl and her granny come to play near Swashby’s deck. Swashby finds them to be annoying and wants them to go away. He writes a message to the little girl in the sand, but the sea changes the message a little bit. The little girl dances and sings while playing on Swashby’s deck. He finds the little girl loud and nosy. Will Swashby be able to get rid of the little girl and her granny?

I like this story. I thought it was very cute and smart how the ocean changed the messages from Swashby. Of course, Swashby was unhappy with the ocean for doing so, but it’s like the ocean wanted Swashby to have a friend. I really like the illustrations because they make me want to visit the beach after reading this book. I like how the little girl has giant glasses, it makes her look so cute. I recommend this book to anyone who likes stories about friendship.
