Shove Off! Yellow Kayak by Nina Laden
Fish jump.
Loons float.
Seals watch.
Little boat.
Two adventurers go down to the sea in... well, not ships, but a little yellow kayak, waving goodbye to the watcher on the hill. Seagulls squawk as they soar across a cloudy gray sky, as the breezes become winds.
Maybe the two boatmen should have checked the weather forecast!
A sudden squall blows up, with howling winds, blowing rain, and roaring thunder!
But the little kayak rides out the storm as the sun begins to set in a pink sky.
Bail boat.
Good save!
And what's this? The denizens of the deep appear around them--seals rise, an octopus floats by, and hulking whales circle around to give them a gentle nudge toward their shore.
Lighthouse beams.
Welcome paddlers.
Sweet dreams.
It's certainly no jolly journey with the Beatles on their Yellow Submarine, but author Nina Laden and
artist Melissa Castrillon nevertheless create a magical mystery tour of the wonders of the ocean, in their Yellow Kayak
