Sally and the Limpet
This is a funny, touching, story about a young girl who gets a limpet stuck on her finger and the things she (and the limpet) must endure for about the next 24 hours. Although the story begins and ends in ocean water, it is sprinkled throughout with dry humor. Students will enjoy the many improbable situations that befall Sally and the limpet, and they’ll learn a bit about limpet biology too.
