"Surf's Up"

Transcript

So, the picture book, oh, that was so much fun to write. It is about two frogs, Bro and Dude. And the book is called Surf’s Up. And Bro and Dude are on their way to the beach to go surfing and hanging out, but Bro can’t seem to get up from his comfy living room chair because the book that he’s reading is un-put-downable. It’s a book that you may be familiar with. It’s called Moby Dick. So, the book is about the joy of reading and summer.

This picture book by Kwame Alexander, featuring two frogs, Bro and Dude, is all about the joy of reading and summer.
