Can Clam Go?

Written by Adam Lehrhaupt
Illustrated by Pauline Gregory

Clam sees a shark and expects the worst. But this shark isn’t looking for a snack. He’s looking for a friend. Suddenly, Clam is in for the ride of a lifetime. With short, rhythmic sentences and Pauline Gregory’s expressive underwater illustrations, Can Clam Go? gives new readers a funny little adventure they can follow in the words and the pictures.

Short, rhythmic sentences and expressive underwater pictures invite new readers to follow the story in both words and pictures.

Clam sits on a rock as a whale shark circles nearby in one panel, while another panel shows Clam alone on a tall rock and a third is a close-up of Clam with watery eyes. Sit.
Clam sits on a rock while Shark leans in close beside him in a bright blue underwater scene. That is it.
Clam sits high on a rock among sea grass while a spotted whale shark swims by in the background. Clam sits still.
A fast underwater race scene with Shark swimming past, Clam watching, and the word ZIP across the page. ZIP!
Clam sits sadly among seaweed while a speech bubble reads “Can Clam go? Clam says, “No.”” and a shark shadow looms above. Can Clam go?
Look again. What changed?
