This hilarious picture book will keep emerging readers laughing, and the message-related mishaps in the story create an opportunity for spelling and sounding out new words!\nCaptain Swashby loves the sea, his oldest friend. And he loves his life by the sea just as it is: salty and sandy and serene.\nOne day, much to Swashby’s chagrin, a young girl and her granny commandeer the empty house next door. All Swashby wants is for his new neighbors to GO AWAY and take their ruckus with them.\nWhen Swashby begins to leave notes in the sand for his noisy neighbors, however, the beach interferes with the messages that are getting across. Could it be that the captain’s oldest friend, the sea, knows what Swashby needs even better than he knows himself?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0544707370\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0544707370.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ferry, Beth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
