CHARLIE, A SHIBA INU, is a fierce samurai who is calling you to the watch. He and his band of surfing dogs plan to do what the coast guard has failed to do. The moon will be full soon. Time is short. Hundreds of baby turtles will hatch and race for the sea. The grave danger of poachers threatens. Not only turtle lives are at stake. Charlie's plan pushes his animal friends to their limits. He asks them to take dangerous action in the world of humans. Their lives too, will be in jeopardy. First Watch is a dramatically illustrated, animal adventure story. It is written to enchant the middle grade reader (7-13 years) with both narrative and vividly colored pictures. This is also a wonderful read aloud book for parents, grandparents and their younger children. Charlie reminds us all that the first step, in caring for our earthly home, is to join the watch. Enjoying the story of First Watch is just the beginning.
