Beach Play

I bought this book for my little boy who is 3 1/2. We live near the coast and one of his favorite things to do is go to the beach. He loves the pictures of all the beachy fun in this book and can actually "read" it to me now! This one gets read over and over and over...

This book is the cutest childrens book i have ever read. I hope to see more from the author. It is soo much fun to read.

This short book with lively text and perfect, colorful illustrations describes a toddler's day at the beach. The writing is in quick, energetic rhymes that will capture the imagination of all kids. It would be a wonderful book to look at with a child just before starting out on a trip to the beach. Alternately, reading this book at bedtime would help children relive their own great times by the water. An additional asset is that the vocabulary is perfect for first or second graders who want to read on their own.

The simple but evocative text and the bold kid-friendly pictures combine to make this a book that will bring readers/listeners to the beach no matter where they really are. The wonderful rhymes and rhythms are whimsical, sweet, and totally unforced--as refreshing as a day at the beach.
