Terrific interactive potential in this fun story

Kids will love seeing the power of the imagination in this tale. The big sister, Morgan, keeps seeing more danger for her little sister, and a bystander thinks of (and draws) a solution. Finally, Morgan thinks of the final rescue. I have read this to groups and at home, and the kids listen and look carefully to see each new dilemma crop up. They all cry "Help, Help, Help!" and call out the new calamity. I could see a teacher using this to introduce a creative writing and/or drawing unit, where each child could suggest what happens next in a group story. Loads of fun here!
