Aurelius, the baby whale, worried his poor Mother and Father a great deal. They couldn't understand why he wouldn't behave like other little whales. But Aurelius only wanted to have fun and that is how he happened to get himself all tangled up with a ferryboat, and how Captain Oliver C. Briggs became the town hero. But it was Johnny DeSoto Fitzsimmons Hodge, the salty seafaring parrot, who really stole the show! (46pp. illus. Masthof Press, 2010 reprint.)
