A funny 12-page picture story set in the Silver Sea, where Tom learns about trying again when it goes wrong.
A 12-page Bookcamp Original in English, for ages 9 and up. Read it in the Bookcamp reader with pictures on every page, or let the read aloud voice tell it.
Nobody could explain why Tom sneezed in rhymes, but he did, and it was terrific. Where the land ran out and the Silver Sea began, the waves rolled in one after another, saying hush, hush, hush. Tom did not like getting things wrong. When something did not work the first time, he usually wanted to give up. A hiccup arrived, stayed for exactly eleven hiccups, and then left without saying goodbye.
Gulls wheeled overhead, and the sand was warm and full of shells shaped like tiny ears. Tom liked to be good at things straight away, and trying twice felt like losing.
One morning Tom sneezed so hard that a map fell out of the cupboard. It showed the Silver Sea, with a big wobbly X on the lighthouse on Whale Rock. For a moment Tom forgot which foot came next, and did a funny little hop instead.
