Why did I love this book?
Eleanor takes her dog, Sukie, (along with Sukie's stuffed friend, Chunka Munka) to the beach. But Sukie is such a little dog and the ocean is so big! Besides, there might be lobsters! As Sukie's fears and anxieties mount, it's fun to use your own version of a puppy voice to read the dog's thoughts aloud. It's a great empathy piece and talking about Sukie's fears with your little ones may open conversations about what makes them anxious. Crimi offers up a just-right sweet ending that makes me want to read it all over again.
3 authors picked There Might Be Lobsters as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Come on, Sukie, you can do it! A little dog’s paralyzing anxiety gives way to bravery when someone smaller is in need in this humorous, tenderly sympathetic story.
Lots of things at the beach scare Sukie. Lots. Because she is just a small dog, and the stairs are big and sandy, and the waves are big and whooshy, and the balls are big and beachy. And besides, there might be lobsters. With endearing illustrations and a perfectly paced text that captures a timid pup’s looping thoughts, here is a funny and honest read-aloud about how overwhelming the world can be…
