Gilbert is in charge of watching his little brother Finn. Gilbert is trying to play with his friend Rita but Finn is too small to play any of the games. They keep trying to think of games to include him in. A run in with a killer whale made Gilbert save the day when he gathered Finn and Rita into a ship wreck to protect them. Everything turned out in the end and they found a game they could all play. Tide and Seek. This is a great book for 3rd to 4th graders to read. It is creative and relatable for that age because they might be older siblings and their parents may make them bring along their little brother or sister. This shows that Gilbert was trying to include him and how he had to protect his brother. ( )

Excellent. I liked the jokes like when they said 'fin in fin' meaning hand in hand. And when Rita and Finn hid from Gilbert. ( )
