The Serpent Came to Gloucester

In this engaging rhyming dramatization by National Book Award Finalist M. T. Anderson, listeners are transported to 19th-century Massachusetts, where a curious boy races to the harbor after hearing startling news of a mysterious sea creature. As the townsfolk gather on Cape Ann's shores, they are captivated by an enormous sea serpent frolicking in the water. However, just as the boy becomes enchanted by the majestic creature, it vanishes, leaving him and the crowd in awe of its fleeting presence.
