Shipwreck Saturday
by Bill CosbyThis synopsis is taken from Dr. Poussaint's letter to the parent found in the beginning of the book. "Children often feel a deep attachment to a toy they've made themselves, and we see this in Shipwreck Saturday. Little Bill takes immense pride in a toy sailboat he has built. And when the boat is wrecked, his shock and grief cause him to leave his friends abruptly and run home to cry. It would be hard to imagine our cool hero reacting that way to losing a boat he picked up at the toy store. Besides giving your child an example of how much fun it is to make a toy, this story shows how creativity can transform a painful experience. After Little Bill runs off, his friend Kiku salvages the mast of his ruined boat to make a beautiful kite. When Bill returns to face his loss, he finds her flying the new kite before an admiring crowd. Kiku considerately hands the kite string over to him, and Little Bill's grief is gone with the wind."

Shipwrecks, Monsters, and Mysteries of the Great Lakes
by Ed ButtsIn 1679, a French ship called the Griffon left Green Bay on Lake Michigan, bound for Niagara with a cargo of furs. Neither the Griffon nor the five-man crew was ever seen again. Though the Griffon's fate remains a mystery, its disappearance was probably the result of the first shipwreck on a Great Lake.Since then, more than six thousand vessels, large and small, have met tragic ends on the Great Lakes. For many years, saltwater mariners scoffed at the freshwater sailors of the Great Lakes, "puddles" compared to the vast oceans. But those who actually worked on the Great Lakes ships knew differently.Shoals and reefs, uncharted rocks, and sandbars could snare a ship or rip open a hull. Unpredictable winds could capsize a vessel at any moment. A ship caught in a storm had much less room to maneuver than did one at sea. The wreckage of ships and the bones of the people who sail them litter the bottoms of the five lakes: Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan, and Superior. Ed Butts has gathered stories and lake lore in this fascinating, frightening volume. For anyone living on the shores of the Great Lakes, these tales will inspire a new interest and respect for their storied past.From the Trade Paperback edition.
