There is a very big rock on Grandpa's beach. How did it get there? And why does it keep disappearing?
This charming introduction to the Maine coast is full of simple details of animals, plants, and the seaside adventures of grandchildren who come to visit each summer. Young readers will have fun exploring the giant rock as events unfold around it-the changing of the tides and seasons, the mysterious sound of loons calling in the fog, a visit from a fox, and Grandpa's clever idea for keeping track of that big mass of granite.
Includes an illustrated glossary and a note from the author about the real rock on a real beach in Maine that inspired the story.
