A Long Way Away

(2) K-3 One little alien (resembling a turnip with tentacles) leaves his home in space, finally ending up at the bottom of the ocean. A page turn reveals a large yellow arrow pointing up--and a return journey, words and cadence backtracking through the book until our alien is greeted by his family once again. The eye never tires of marveling at this back-and-forth masterpiece.
