Sea, Sand, Me!

Description
A day at the beach! What could be more perfect? Gulls "squawk-squawking," seaweed in your hair, sandcastles to build, a sea to splash in, and a pal to share it all with. A little girl basks in the joys of the seashore in this carefree celebration of simple pleasures. She and her newfound friend spend the day swimming, playing, picnicking, and exploring, with her mom and his dad never too far away. Patricia Hubbell's rhymes frolic across the pages, peppered with exuberant repetitions ("We jump in the water / And dance, dance, dance.") and silliness ("Flippy-floppy sun hat. / Wiggly-waggly toes"). Every bit as bouncy as her Bouncing Time, this cheery book is just right any time, even in the chill of winter. In her wide swatches of soft color, Lisa Campbell Ernst, author and illustrator of the beloved Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and many other popular picture books, captures the glee and golden warmth of a sunny summer day. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
