Mr. Walrus

About the Book

This is a poetic story about ten different sea creatures. The story is of a hungry walrus who tries to talk each animal into his cooking pot. When that doesn’t work, he finds there is a hot dog stand to fill his hungry belly. The story teaches children to count and also that, though things don’t turn out the way we want them to, there is another usually better way. It is a delightful book with colorful illustrations, which has been shared with the public library, two preschools, and three second-grade classes. I know that any child between the ages of three and eight will find it interesting and enjoyable.
