5.5 - By the Sea
Read a book with a word meaning a body of water in the title - ocean, sea, river, pond, etc. Plural and possessive forms of the words may be used, but no other variations.

Names of specific bodies of water

does waterfall count?

[Rosemary]

What if the word is the name of a river? E.g. The Mill on the Floss - the Floss is a river

No, sorry, the word must mean a body of water.

Does it have to be a permanent body of water or would I Can Jump Puddles work?

A puddle will work.

Stuff I came up with (all YA):



Also, it's up to Sandy, of course, but here's a list of types of bodies of water from wikipedia. Some of them are REALLY not the water part, though, you know? Like dam. I took a whole class on dams and would NEVER refer to the reservoir part of the whole setup as the dam. And others refer to dried up lakes and stuff. That's no good. But SOME of them might be okay. Like bay, brook, creek, lagoon, loch?, and strait. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_...

No, the task allows plurals and possessives, but no other variations.
