What do you do with a grumpy kraken, a sickly sea serpent, and a tearful gigantic tortoise?
You sing them a tune, of course! Following the sea shanty rhyme of What Do You Do With...,
a ship's crew of sailors has to contend with a coterie of mythical sea creatures, all demanding
comfort and attention. As each creature threatens to swamp the ship, the quick-thinking
crew knows just what to do to save the day, from serving pancakes to mopping a sweaty forehead
to sharing an umbrella to keep the rain away. But what happens when the sailors have had enough?
Back matter includes information about the sea creatures featured, music and lyrics, along with a
brief
history of sea shanties.
