(3) K-3 The young narrator, her grandparents, and her friend Robert feed and care for an injured seagull. Realistic illustrations portraying many aspects of beach life are a good match for the lengthy text's detailed descriptions of beach ecology. A storm provides tension, and the story neatly avoids sentimentality in addressing the eventual death of the gull.
