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.
I read this to several classes and they all loved it. They were blown away by Sally, a girl who wasn't afraid of living on "the wild side". They also suggested that the book should have a sequel. Hint, hint, George! The book has been in circularion every week now with other children waiting for their turn.
a real crowd pleaser at preschool!

We loved this book so much that was shared it with my 4-year-old son's preschool class. They also thought it was a hoot. We love Sally's fearlessness!
sweet and fun!

My 2 1/2-year-old loves this book! We got it from the library but now I am buying it for him. It is so funny when he tries to say, "Blippity bloop?" like the Some-thing. It is a great story about friendship and adapting and happy surprises. When the Some-thing first makes his appearance, it seems like it might be a little scary (I am a wimp about such things myself), but it's not.
