Free Audible File: The Water Horse (Free Extract)
Published May 7th, 2008 in ConnectionCentral, audible, audiobook, palm, windows-mobileThanks for visiting Palm Discovery
Here’s a FREE Audible file that you can download and enjoy. This time, it’s a free extract of a story of the legend of the Loch Ness monster called The Water Horse written by Dick King-Smith
.
Also, don’t forget to check out This is Audible (free bi-weekly Audible file) that discusses audio books with interviews, clips and discussions related to audio books and entertainment. They come out every Tuesday and Friday of each week.
There’s also Harry Shearer’s Le Show (another free file) that discusses the politics and news of the past week. I don’t particularly care about his skits but do enjoy his perspective on politics and makes for interesting listening.

Thanks to your generosity, $20 was donated to Plan Canada (formerly Foster Parents Plan International) in 2006 and $85 was donated in 2007.

What the Critics Say
“The characters are believable and, since King-Smith relates events from the point of view of the water horse as well as those of Kirstie and her family, readers get to know the friendly, not-at-all-fearsome monster.” (School Library Journal)
Publisher’s Summary
This is a free sample of The Water Horse.
When eight-year-old Kirstie brings home a strange egg from the Scottish shore, her family never expects it to hatch. But the next day, Kirstie discovers a baby sea monster swimming in her bathtub! Part horse, part toad, part turtle, and part crocodile, he’s the oddest-looking creature Kirstie’s family has ever seen. Only Kirstie’s grandfather knows what the beastie really is: a Water Horse!
This lovable creature is the perfect pet. The only trouble is, he can’t stop growing. He gets bigger. And Bigger. And BIGGER. Before long, he’s outgrown every loch in sight. Will they ever find a home that’s large enough for their Water Horse?
A magical retelling of the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, The Water Horse is a timeless tale that will delight children of all ages.
A major feature film, starring Emily Watson, Ben Chaplin, and David Morrissey, has now been inspired by this book.
