Quick Summary

A hilariously sticky situation unfolds when a curious beach explorer gets a limpet clamped onto her finger and discovers this clingy little sea creature has no intention of letting go. Kids will laugh out loud at the silly limbo between Sally trying to shake free and the limpet holding on for dear life, making it a perfect read-aloud that bursts with quirky seaside humor. If your kid loves silly picture books with a twist like "The Pout-Pout Fish" or "Dog Man," they'll be totally hooked on this wacky underwater adventure. Ideal for ages 4-7 in preschool through second grade, especially for readers who enjoy short, funny stories they can finish in one sitting.
