In Sal and Sally, children learn about sharing and making friends, even out of former enemies. There is much on this Earth in which we can rejoice. Sometimes, the greatest joys are found in the simplest things - like blowing bubbles with Sal and Sally! Filled with endearing illustrations that will capture the heart, this is a great little gift for the favorite child in your life.

Being Greek and loving to fish, I just know this book will be perfect for my 2 Grandsons. And being a piano teacher, the music on the trailer, well it's my kind of music! This wonderful Grandpa, Jay Miller, has written a winning series of books. I look forward to hearing more from Jay and will keep my eye open for new releases. A big thanks to Jay Miller!

Sal and Sally is the story of two fish who learn the art of blowing colorful bubbles. They teach their buddy how to do so as well, who unfortunately traps Sal and Sally in a bubble. They run into Nasty Nick, a hungry shark, but eventually Nasty Nick befriends them. This book, although strange in the end, is a fun read. I would be careful putting this in a public classroom, given the religious overtones. The illustrations in this book are phenomenal.
