Burt Dow isn't your average fisherman. He lives in a cozy little house on the coast of Maine and never sets sail without his best friend—a giggling pet seagull! You can usually find the two of them happily bobbing along the ocean waves in Burt's trusty, leaky old boat. But one day, a simple fishing trip turns into a massive, splashy adventure. When a wild, roaring storm rolls in, Burt and his gull need to find a safe place to hide, fast. Their solution? The belly of a giant whale! To get out, Burt will have to use a whole lot of brainpower, some quick thinking, and a surprisingly colorful collection of striped band-aids. This classic, hilarious tale is packed with big laughs, ocean surprises, and a clever fisherman who knows exactly how to handle the deepest, wildest waters.
