A cute boy of color is running across the first page in his house saying, "Race you to the pool!" Unfortunately as he gets outside to his kiddy pool a huge whale is filling the entire thing and then some. He tries to tell his mom and she tells him to not forget about sunscreen. It cracked me up because that's such a typical mom being distracted answer. He then proceeds to problem solve using some pretty clever solutions to get this gigantic whale out of his pool. problem-solve
The illustrations are very simple and yet very cute and captivating. The story flows well on each page capturing the facial expressions of different emotions as he tries to solve his problem. The end papers of the book are my favorite. This is a perfect beginning reader book very few words on each page and fairly simple dialogue. I loved it.
