What imagination these four children exhibit on a rainy spring day while playing on their porch. Gretchen, the youngest, calls for a circus, when her stuffed bear falls off the porch into the wet yard. Clark jumps off the porch and into the (now) sea to rescue the bear. Their dog becomes a “hungry Fur-Shark.” Then, the bear is swept “into the Fur-Shark’s ghastly dark cave.” Next, the garden hose becomes a Million-Mile Eel. Mitchell and Annabelle join the action, as the Sea Patrol, coming to Clark’s and bear’s rescue. Soon they are safely back from the sea and on the porch waiting “for the rain to stop.”

Marvelous colorfully artistic transitions from real to imaginary take place and which will keep the reader delighted!
