The Water Horse
Summary
When a storm washes up a strange pod-like object on the seashore, Kirstie decides to take it home and put it in the bath. The next day it hatches into a tiny green-grey creature, with a horse's head, a warty skin, four flippers and a crocodile's tail. The author also wrote Paddy's Pot of Gold.
