Heroes come in many forms, but few can compare to Silas. When danger erupts, he swims into action and saves the day but pays a heavy price for his actions. NOTE: This listing is for the BOOK only. Plush toy is NOT included. BACKGROUND

These delightful creatures have stories of their own to share with you. Each has a unique adventure as they take part in a series with other similar animals. You and your child are invited to join in by learning about the creature's story and then contributing to that yarn with your own ideas and imagination. Proven literacy tools are included with each yarn to grow young people's love for reading, writing and knowledge. The oceans are beautiful and mysterious, concealing both great beauty and great cunning. The sea creatures have banded together on a sinister plan.
