Book Cover & Preview Text
Bright and early the next morning, before the other boats drifted peacefully in the lagoon and before all the birds started singing in their nests, Rodney and Diane headed for the edge of the lagoon. They paused for just a minute then they sailed off into the open sea. Rodney and Diane began their adventure! Very soon after leaving the lagoon, Diane said, "Oh Rodney, the water is so much colder out at sea compard to our lagoon!" "Yes it is," said Rodney. "But we'll get used to it in no time!" Then Rodney told Diane, "Look back Diane. Remember where you came from and remember how to get back to the lagoon. But also look ahead with your eyes wide open and enjoy all the new experiences we're going to have." And so their journey began.
