The
Gist of It: A little girl traveling by boat in Scotland continually throws her oatmeal into the water where a sea worm eats it and grows into the Loch Ness monster.
Before reading this book, I thought it was going to be a book about the Loch Ness Monster, but it's really about the little girl which is disappointing. The story is not that great, relying on telling what happened instead of illustrating it (with words obviously) There was also a lack of tension in the book; it all went in a straight line.In addition to that it is really not going to be a good book to read if you are trying to get a little one to eat their vegetables. The illustrations were interesting, but not worth the rest of the book. Each page had a faded tone to it building on the fact that this book is set in the past.
On
the Bookshelf? No. I really did not like this book.
