When a tiny sea serpent unexpectedly drops from the faucet into a little girl's bath water, it seems like a wonderful new friend has come to stay. But little girls and sea serpents grow up quickly, and even good friends have to part sometimes, however reluctantly. Subdued blue and green acrylic and charcoal-pencil illustrations enhance the story's wistfulness.
