We're Going to Build a Dam

'We're going to dam a stream, hold its water back.'

Two boys - and a dog - find a place where the streams meet the sea. Can they build a dam that will hold back the water?

Their adventure includes:

• Stones, driftwood, and strands of seaweed – all the materials they can find.
• The challenge of figuring out if it's enough to stop the stream.
• The unpredictable antics of their dog, adding a playful twist to the story.

With fluid, engaging line and watercolour illustrations, Gillian McClure's story beautifully captures the spontaneity and excitement of friends working and playing together.

In the visual narrative, readers can also enjoy following the delightful and mischievous behavior of the dog.
