Mini-Me picked this book out all by herself, so reading it was a big deal. Unfortunately, neither of us seemed to find the story that engaging.

It was good read-aloud practice for Mommy, though. I had to slow right down to keep my tongue from tripping up on some of the runs of s-blend words. It may also be helpful for Mini-Me in that regard, once she is reading on her own.

Functional; Moderately enjoyable.

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2020

These books are extremely effective, because my oldest son likes them quite a bit.

I myself do not enjoy them, however that is not the point.

They have a decent rhyme scheme and repeated readings help him start to internalize certain phonic patterns.

They are also precisely long enough.

Verdict: Recommended.

Splat just wants a shell with the sound of the ocean to take to his grandpa. But he will have a whale of a tale instead.
