Titus Tidewater

the long version

The adventurous blue lobster, Titus Tidewater, welcomes the summer season in Maine. Summer means exciting happenings close to the shoreline but also lurking dangers in the shallow warm water. Titus cautiously explores that ocean floor but soon finds himself ensnared in a lobster trap. Unable to free himself, he is taken away from his familiar oceanic surroundings and enters into a strange new world on land, before he is ultimately rescued by two children and the ocean itself. A recipient of the Society of Illustrators award, Suzy Verrier s lavish watercolors bring Titus' tale to life. This classic children s book narrates the life of one Maine lobster and displays a captivating world under the sea. Islandport has updated Titus with a new look and added fun facts about Maine lobsters throughout.
