Synopses & Reviews
Stuck at home with her mom and her new sibling, Sally heads for the swamp with her fishing pole and bike. What she discovers, in the form of a slimy, slithery Some-Thing, is a new best friend. Mud pies, burping contests, snail racing--and sensational, eerily beautiful artwork deliver plenty of kid appeal.
Review
"Humorous illustrations and deadpan commentary ... Children will likely request repeated readings of this delightful romp."
--Publishers Weekly "The illustrations ... feature plenty of quirky details to extend the story and entertain readers. In Sallys words: 'not boring!'"
--Kirkus Reviews "The snappy text and comic pacing make this an ideal read-aloud."
--School Library Journal "A good choice for preschool story hours or for one-on-one sharing."
--Booklist
