Surf's up! Mrs. Armitage and her dog, Breakspear, paddle out to surf the Big Wave. Soon the kindly Mrs. Armitage notices that Breakspear's little legs are getting tired — so she swims off and returns with an inflatable desert island for him to rest on. Then she notices that Breakspear looks a little hot — so she swims off again and brings back an umbrella.
Soon this silly pair is loaded down with flags, a horn, megaphones, and lots of other gear. What will they do when the Big Wave finally arrives? And when Mrs. Armitage spots a little girl in trouble, will she still be able to ride the Big Wave in style? This laugh-out-loud picture book is full of exuberance, fun, and a love of the surf.
"A lively choice for a summer storytime, this is a laugh-aloud tale for intergenerational sharing, even for those who won't be catching waves themselves." — School Library Journal
