A review by emdoux
The Abandoned Lighthouse by Albert Lamb, David McPhail

4.0

When a bear falls asleep in a rowboat and the tide comes in, the boat floats out to sea, landing at a lighthouse.

A boy loses his ball in the same rowboat, and floats out to sea with his little dog, landing at the lighthouse - where the lonely bear is happy to see them.

The three new friends go fishing to catch their diner - but then a storm comes and the little dog, boy, and bear are frightened; they turn on the lighthouse light and stop a ship from crashing into the lighthouse island.

A short adventure of three new friends and the power of a lighthouse, Lamb's story will make a fantastic, day-dreamy read-aloud.
