Flo's dog, Ebb, loved to sit in the bow of their small boat. It was her favorite spot. But one day she heard a flapping noise -- and there sat a bird, right in her favorite spot. Flo giggled. Beep, beep, beep, said the bird. "Isn't she lovely, Ebb," said Flo. "She wants to be friends with you." Grr, grr, Ebb growled. "Look at that bird! Isn't she sweet?" people on shore exclaimed. Even Granny liked Bird -- and fed it Ebb's tidbits. As the days passed, Ebb got grumpier and grumpier. She had to share everything with Bird. And then, one morning, Bird flew away! What happened then is the heart of this simply told, funny, and touching story about sharing, illustrated with the author's glowing, fresh, and appealing paintings. Product details For ages 0-5 ...
