From the Publisher:

With enough lunch for three, Mr. Magee and his dog Dee head out to the sea. But what begins as a fun day in the sun turns a bit bumpy when one playful whale decides to say hello. Soon the crew that once was floating finds themselves flying! How will they get down? Who will come to their rescue? And when will they ever get to eat lunch? Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee is a great read-aloud, sure to provide fits of giggles. 

Leah’s Thoughts:

This one is just plain fun. The rhyming text flows so smoothly, and the bright illustrations make it feel like summer on every page. Mr. Magee’s boating mishap always gets my boys grinning, and they ask to read it again and again.
