What a summer vacation to remember! When the children discover the creature (which is pronounced “sammy-add,” by the way), the adventure truly begins. Very few of their wishes work out as expected, much to their chagrin (and our amusement).

If you’re looking for a clean read-aloud for your family, consider this one!
