Welcome to BB Bear’s World“You’d better watch out, Runie. BB Bear’s faster than you think!”
Fred
A hungry seagull who lands on the porch railing. Fred has sleek white feathers, sharp black eyes and a weakness for crackers.
Runie scrunched up her face and thought very hard. “Fred,” she said. “Fred the Seagull!”
The pink dolphin
A mystery in the waves on the night of the storm. It is the only pink thing in the whole book.
For a second, she thought she saw a shadow, sleek and smooth, cutting through the water. She blinked, and it was gone.
