Captain Willow and the Sea Monster: Who Was Terrible at Being Scary

Captain Willow knows something important: ordinary things don't stay ordinary when you're looking at them properly. And on Saturdays, in gardens, adventures are almost guaranteed.When Willow transforms her Wendy house into THE BLACK THISTLE, the fastest pirate ship in the world, she appoints Dad as the fearsome Sea Monster. There's only one problem... he's absolutely terrible at being scary.Together they set off on a biscuit-saving quest across the emerald sea (also known as the lawn), travelling through Ticklefish Bay, the Whirlpool of Wet Socks, Crocodile Cabbage Cove, and the towering Mount Doom-and-Laundry. The Sea Monster tries very hard to help... but mostly gets stuck, drops cabbages, forgets where he's going, and accidentally sits on his own tail. Twice.At the end of their journey, Willow discovers a very silly truth: The Sea Monster isn't a monster at all. He's Dad-the world's best dad, in fact.A heartwarming, imaginative picture book celebrating play, creativity, and the magic of seeing the world differently. Perfect for bedtime, story time, and for every captain who knows that gardens are really oceans.
