Request this book from the Library Long ago in Japan, a wise man lived high on a hill overlooking the sea. Ojiison (grandfather) lived simply, growing rice for the village. One day, Ojiison felt an earthquake. It was a small one, and most of the village ignored it. But Ojiison looked out to sea. He saw the ocean racing away from the land. Ojiison knew that meant only one thing, monster wave. While the villagers played on the beach, Ojiison tried desperately to think of a way to save them from the tsunami. Finally, he sets fire to the rice field. Will that be enough to bring the villagers away from the beach to safety? Librarian review written by Lisa

	Wave Suzy Lee (2008) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Early Literacy: Narrative Skills New Books Oceans Wordless Picture Books
Request this book from the Library What an enchanting wordless book this is! A little girl goes to the beach with her mother. The story focuses on the interplay between the little girl and the sea wave as it comes and goes. At first she is tentative approaching the wave and as she becomes more comfortable, she even sticks out her tongue when the wave becomes bigger. Although it overcomes her, it leaves behind the gift of seashells. Accompanying the girl is a flock of sea gulls who mirror the girl's action. A book to read with your eyes and tell the story with your voice! Librarian review written by Mollie A delightful story of a little girl and her day at the sea told through illustrations. Her curiosity about the sea's waves takes her through a variety of feelings: excitement, joy, playfulness, hesitation, and gratitude. A simple story with simple drawings and simple message!
