Product description
One morning, after a great storm, a mysterious egg washes up on a Scottish beach. Kirstie and Angus take the egg home… and it hatches into a tiny grey-green creature with a horse’s head, four flippers and a crocodile’s tail! The baby sea-monster soon becomes the family pet. The only trouble is that it just won’t stop growing… Dick King-Smith’s magnificent talent for creating rich, involving fiction from simple animal stories shines through once again in this beautiful book. Blending myths of Nessie and sea-monsters into a family story full of human drama, this delightfully warm tale will be snapped up by children who have seen the recent film.

on 6 June 2009This is probably one of the best books, I have ever read. Eventhough this story is impossible, Dick King Smith brings the story to life by his wonderful character descriptions and vocabulary.
