Mine was the kindle version and being 64 years old, I truly honestly just fell in love with this story. The illustrations did nothing but deepen any readers imagination and as much as was shown so much was just left up for you to decide for yourself. I believe everyone has some explorer in them so, just cant imagine anyone not enjoying this adorable sea adventure! Such a happy, enjoyable loveable book would be adorable to read aloud to any group of children and/or a lot of nursing home patients would enjoy it also! Well worth reading and will check out more! A pure delight to read! And again 5 stars just arent enough to rate it with!
