Children can relate to this book when they go to the beach. This is a rhyming book and most children will enjoy that. Smith did a excellent job illustrating.

This book is about a day at the beach. Throughout the book, it explains everything you see at a day on the beach. It also rhymes, which made me enjoy the book a little more.

This is a great book to share with students to teach them about summer and how it can be spent with family. This is great to read to students ages 4 till 10.
