Identifying a children's book about lake monsters (picture book not chapter book)
I was hoping someone could help me identify the title or author of a picture book I used to read as a child. I've seen that other users have had success with similar questions but unfortunately I just remember the basic premise of this book. Any help or tips would be great!
The book I'm looking to identify was a picture book published before the year 2000 (sorry I can't be more specific about a time period). The book was beautifully illustrated and told the story of a lake that was overrun with lake monsters/sea serpents. From what I remember the main characters were two children ( a boy and a girl I think) that were visiting a relative at the lake that summer. The creatures were friendly from what I remember and I believe the children helped the locals find a solution to the recently infested lake. My most vivid memories of the book involved a beautiful illustration of the lake from above with boats floating among the heads of the lake monsters.
I'm sorry I can't give any more plot information but I would be happy if anyone could point me in the right direction as to author or title. I loved this book as a child and would love to find another copy. Thanks for the help!
