Summary:
In a book that can be read from either end (and is read with spine up, not to left) and alien child travels from space with his parents, through the sky, down to earth, into the ocean. Read the other way, he travels back. Sparse text helps the reader along, but is almost unnecessary for the journey.
Use in Classroom/Library: Space storytime; have students elaborate on why the child is traveling; talk or write about any solo adventures the students have been on.
Curriculum Connections:
Science: methods of travel through space/air and under the ocean; living things in the ocean & in air (space?)
