S.O.S.: Save Our Shortcut!

by Gail Donovan

Mrs. Crabbitz has once again caught Rainbow Fish and his friends taking a shortcut through her sculpture garden, and she's no happy about it-in fact, she's downright crabby! But when she falsely accuses them of knocking down her sculptures, the young fish decide to investigate. With Miss Cuttle's help, they uncover the hidden problem with Mrs. Crabbitz's garden and learn a lesson about respect along the way.
