Come Again, Pelican

Every summer Ty's family
came to camp in their trailer at the same beautiful spot on the white sand
dunes by the ocean. And every year, as long as Ty could remember, the same old
pelican had welcomed them. This year, as soon as the
trailer was parked, Ty pulled on his shiny red wading boots and ran with his
fishing pole to look for his friend.



"Be sure not to lose those
new boots of yours," his father said. And Ty didn't – not really. But by the time the tide had
quietly crept in and as gently flowed out again, some surprising things had
happened and both he and the pelican had made unexpected catches. What could
they have been to make both boy and bird so happy when each swapped his catch
with the other?



Pictures full of space and
light and the shining colors of sky and sand and sea help to tell the
delightful story of Ty's adventurous afternoon.
