(3) K-3 A mother tells her son of when they went to sea, and not much happened-- "But you were only a baby. You wouldn't remember." The pictures, however, tell an eventful tale of stowaways, rescues, storms--all noticed by the boy. The disconnect between text and appropriately watery, airy images is humorous, and the contrast between the baby's sharpness and his mother's dimwittedness is satisfying.
