About this listen

Mrs Armitage arrives on the beach with her surfboard and her faithful dog Breakspear, and paddles out to sea to wait for the Big Wave. But, of course, Mrs Armitage can't be satisfied with just an ordinary surfboard and she is soon adding a hilarious variety of gadgets and contraptions. And when the Big Wave finally arrives, Mrs Armitage certainly surfs with style!

'Blake, in a gleeful mode, flaunts his signature wackiness in an avid display of Mrs. Armitage's kitschy taste and ingenuitythe megaphone is for flirting, of course.' (Kirkus Reviews)
'A lively choice for a summer storytime, this is a laugh-aloud tale for intergenerational sharingAeven for those who won't be catching waves themselves.' (School Library Journal)
