(3) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Collins. Ruby's instructive narration tells of her first surfing experience. She practices some moves, then takes to the waves with Dad riding on the back of her board. As with any beginner, Ruby experiences setbacks, but she conquers her fear to surf "the biggest, fastest, fiercest wave ever!" Cartoon-style art is colorful and hip. An author's note provides a history of surfing.
