"This amiable story can be taken at face value about the power of kindness, or can offer children an introduction to music as well as songwriting. A great summer-day song with such cheerful art makes it easy to recommend this." --School Library Journal

"Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

Then I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah . . ."

(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay is a charming picture book set to one of the King of Soul's(TM) greatest hits. The song was one of the last Redding recorded, and ranked number four on Billboard's year-end Hot 100 chart, going on to win two GRAMMYs and be certified triple-platinum.

With lyrics by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper and illustrations by Kaitlyn Shea O'Connor, this picture book imagines a lonesome cat fishing off a dock and hoping the fish will bite soon. (Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay is the perfect picture book for parents wanting to share a classic song with their children, allowing both to find joy in it along the way.
