Ebb and Flo and the Baby Seal

Illustrator: Jane Simmons

It's raining, so Flo and her Mum are busy doing indoor things. Ebb, the dog, is getting very bored but suddenly he hears a cry from the beach and goes out to investigate.

He is delighted to find a baby seal – at last someone wants to play with him! Ebb and the seal have fun together all day but when Ebb goes home for dinner the seal cries and tries to follow. Ebb fetches Flo and her Mum and together they row out to Seal Island and manage to reunite the baby with his mother.

This is a simple and delightful story and is complemented by Jane Simmons' fabulous illustrations. The beach, waves and sea are so real you could almost be there. An ideal book to share with a child on holiday.
