Found

Praise

Here a boy and his grandfather—favorite subjects for Mr. Usher—enjoy an epic day building a sandcastle (we see it as the child imagines it, towering over them both). . . . The two are drawn into more dramatic events when they find a seal pup tangled in a net. What follows is a series of heroic, impossible feats as the boy and his grandfather brave stormy seas to restore the baby seal to its family in this joyful picture book.

Gently humorous and wonderfully warm, this tale revels in its depiction of a fun and affectionate intergenerational bond. . . . A great storytime find.

In this beautifully illustrated picture book, Usher sends his familiar main characters, a boy and his grandfather, on a rescue mission that turns into a rewarding adventure. . . . Created with a childlike vision and written in simple words, the narrative delivers the sort of perfect day that an adventurous kid might envision. . . . An imaginative book that features a memorable day at the beach.
