Hector, a very friendly 5’-long, crocheted snake, takes children on a summer adventure. He boogie-boards, plays games with new friends, rides a bike, serves as a lifeguard, and even toasts marshmallows at a bonfire. The beach is a wonderful playground and an ideal place to make friends. Whimsical, colorful photographs and simple sentences for young readers with questions to be used as a teaching tool to assess and reinforce children’s memories.
