Mrs. Armitage and the Big Wave

32 pp. | Harcourt | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-15-201642-2
(3) K-3 This cumulative story follows a wiry, gray-haired surfer and her dog as they paddle back and forth between land and sea, gathering supplies that will keep them comfortable while they await the big wave. Spunky pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations sketch a lively beach scene and an intrepid elderly heroine, who flamboyantly saves a drowning young girl.
