Summary: - A little boy finds a camera that washed up on the ocean shore and develops the pictures to see what goes on in the ocean. He notices one picture that has a picture of a person and takes another look at the picture. There are many other pictures going back in time. He ends up taking a picture of him holding the picture and throws the camera back into the ocean

Extension Activities: -
Have the kids try the picture holding a picture. Each of them can bring a picture and with a digital camera you can easily print out pictures.
