The book, "The Sea Serpent and Me," is a beautiful story of friendship between a girl and a sea serpent who happens to find himself in her bathtub one night. They become friends and he quickly grows larger and larger until he is much too big to live in her bathtub anymore. When it comes time for him to go back to the ocean, he is sad to leave his friend on land, and she is sad to sea him go.
The illlustrations in this book make the text come alive. The text has so many rich adjectives and similes that are brought out in the illustrations making them easy to visualize without any trouble. This book can be used in the elementary school setting to show how friendship can come from unlikely places.
