A girl and her family have arrived at the beach and there are so many special yet familiar things to experience. The girl sees all sorts of wonders; she smells the fish in the fisherman's bucket; she hears the sounds of the waves and boats; she tastes the saltiness of the water, and touches the grittiness of the sand. It is a sensory extravaganza which is, though she has experienced it many times before, still a delight and a treasure to enjoy again and again.
This special picture book perfectly captures the smells, sounds, sights, tastes, and feel of those unique things which make a day at the beach so memorable. Spare and yet evocative text and atmospheric acrylic art are perfectly matched to create a wonderful beach experience. Readers may find themselves listening and looking a little harder the next time they go to the beach, trying to find their own special sensory memories.

Action Alert
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children. Please click on the link below to visit the RIF Action Alert page so you can make your voice heard and support their efforts.
