Synopsis:

When a tiny sea serpent tumbles from the bathtub faucet, a little girl finds an unexpected friend. As rainy day after rainy day passes, the two sing songs, take baths, and talk about the sea. But little girls live on land, and a growing sea serpent needs wave upon wave of water. Full color.

Cathy from Olympia, Washington, May 9, 2009 (view all comments by Cathy from Olympia, Washington)
A little girl discovers a tiny sea serpent tumbling from her bathtub faucet, and the two become fast friends. But their time together is short as the sea serpent quickly outgrows its quarters. The book reminds me a bit of Stephen Kellogg's The Mysterious Tadpole, though Chiens' illustrations (wonderful watercolors!) are quite different from Kellogg's crisp, detailed style. That said, I find myself wanting to re-read this "quiet", luminous book about friendship, and just admire the illustrations-- again and again.
