My Thoughts:
This book pretty much covers a day at the beach. Kids playing in the sand and playing ball. Having a picnic. Even mentions a seagull.
I found this book to be cute and fun. It covers a lot of the fun stuff you can do and find at the beach. And it rhymes, which is fun. It also shows some of the things that can be done in the water like sailing, boating, and water-skiers.
I think the pictures are my favorite part. The illustrator did an amazing job with the pictures in this book. They have a lot of detail and bright fun colors. I especially love the shades used for the sparkling water and the sunset. Definitely a wonderful depiction of the beach.
This is a wonderful summer-fun book to read.
I think both younger children and older children can appreciate this book. Both of my daughters really enjoyed listening to this story.
It made them want to go to the beach.
