Sally and the Limpet
A delightful tale with a strong ecological message. Sally wants to keep a big limpet she finds on the beach. Though the limpet resists, she manages to pull it off the rock. All seems well until she tries to pull it off her finger, but it sticks proverbially. Nothing anyone can do will shift it - and only when she takes it back to exactly where she found it, does the limpet release its grip on her. Simon James seems to have the knack of getting over a serious message in a comical way.
