Reach for this book when your child starts showing a 'collector's' impulse towards nature, such as bringing home bugs, picking every flower, or trying to keep wild creatures as pets. It is a gentle, humorous, and effective tool for teaching the concept of boundaries and the physical needs of living things. Sally's beach day takes an unexpected turn when a limpet she pries off a rock suctions itself onto her finger and refuses to let go. This creates a funny but poignant predicament that models the natural consequences of disturbing wildlife. Through Sally's journey to free her finger, children learn that animals have specific homes where they belong. It is a perfect choice for teaching empathy and environmental stewardship to preschoolers and early elementary students.
