A
collection of odd looking, cartoon like characters with names
like Miss Elephant Shark and Mr. Octo-Rhino converge on a
swimming pool where they ask the lifeguard if they can take
a dip. His reply is always the same, “Please don’t
splash the sasquatch!”
Of course, each
critter who jumps in the pool does get the sasquatch soaked,
so steps will have to be taken to dry him off. After being
spun, shimmied, and dried off, Senor Sasquatch seems to be
OK with the situation and invasion of his pool.
This nonsensical story will appeal to young readers who will
take every opportunity to shout out “Don’t Splash
the Sasquatch!” when the story demands such a vociferous
contribution. Older, more discriminating children may find
this book a little bit too silly for their liking, so be prepared
for a mixed reaction when you pull out this book.
