Illustrated by
Jessica Meserve.
On a beach vacation, Daisy uses her gift of animal communication to teach two rabbits to surf "the blue uppy-downy things" and, with the help of some crabs, save a trapped dolphin. The plotting is a bit slow and the story somewhat uneventful, aside from the ride with the dolphins. Thoughtful design effectively incorporates the warm illustrations into the text.
