## The story

Hank the hammerhead wore a red lifeguard tank and twirled a whistle, keeping order on the beach of every box. The wave pieces were so blue they stained the milk, the spoon and your whole tongue. Swimming lessons started on Saturdays, and every kid at the pool had the same blue grin.

## Fun fact

Hank's hammerhead meant the box art showed him from the front, with one eye drawn on each edge of the panel.
