Where Did All the Water Go?

I live on the western shore next to the Chesapeake Bay. One morning, all I could see was mud! Where did all the water go? I asked my parents. They said not to worry, the water would be back. But that didnt keep me from worrying. I worried about all the people on the Eastern Shore being flooded. I worried and I worried. When I came home from school that day.... The answer to this childs puzzlement is contained in this charming story about a natural phenomenon that occurs on the bay. Early Readers: Ages 5-8.
