The story
Sarcasta is a walking encyclopedia with a very sharp tongue. At the beach she teases the Mad twins until they're too angry to warn her about the giant wave rising behind her.
The wave sweeps her into the Gulf of Thailand, where she plays tag with chatty seafoam until a huge ring of foam forms. A whale is coming to feed, and Sarcasta is right in the way.
The real place: Gulf of Thailand
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1Bryde's whales live in the Gulf of Thailand, and they can grow about as long as a school bus.
- 2Some of them feed by floating upright with their huge mouths open at the surface, so fish swim right in, just like Crunch.
- 3Plastic bags, ropes and fishing nets in the sea can harm whales, which sometimes swallow them by mistake.
