Review Quotes

"Kizzie's tall tale is as much fun as low tide at the beach! While telling a delightful story, she weaves in the practice of leaving living creatures in their natural habitat, no matter how endearing they are. Kizzie gives voices to sea creatures rarely heard from in children's fiction including gooseneck barnacles, mussels, and sea grass. Scott's charming illustrations bring these creatures to life and help imaginations of all ages run wild with the dachshunds on the sand." Laura Firth Markley, Beach Naturalist Interpretive Exhibit Writer/Researcher "This story is original, informative, and engaging. Young children will be mesmerized by the sophisticated yet accessible language and metaphors. The artwork is gorgeous, including the use of interesting and colorful text. It's a beautiful, tender, warm-hearted story that will be a joy to read over and over and over! I can't wait to see this book on bookshelves everywhere!" Kim Votry, author of My Own Magic. "I was so touched in reading Kizzie Jones' charming fable about a loving little girl and her sea creature friends. As a family counselor, I have often looked for helpful ways for parents to pass along values such as compassion to their young children. The fictional playmates of this little girl showed their caring for her by creating the perfect companions to ease her loneliness. Reading this book aloud to youngsters would open an easy path to such a lesson of love."
