"The waves came in creeping, / stealing and sweeping-- / they snatched Sarah's flip-flop, / and took it away!" What to do with the other flip-flop? Make it into a craft stamp. This book invitingly encourages children to go green by repurposing old items. Friendly animals, shown in appealing acrylic illustrations, demonstrate creative craft projects with an emphasis on reuse.
