A day at the beach is full of celebration, helping out, and especially discovery in this energetic and beautiful new book by the New York Times bestselling creator of My Heart and The Book of Mistakes.
Hello, sand. Hello, toes. Hello, ocean. Hello, hello, hello!
In this glowing portrait of beach time joy, a girl greets the many things she encounters, celebrating them all. Razor clams and sand dollars, the splish and splash of water, logs and dune grass and . . . uh-oh, garbage too. When she discovers a knotted pile of debris, she and her parents work to get it cleaned up, then go on with their busy, happy day at the shore.---from the publisher

Editor's note: I wonder if we really need to burden our 3-5 year olds with environmental stewardship instead of allowing them to just be children and have a childhood and leave the burden of stewardship to the grown ups. How about just letting kids go to the beach for all the beach has to give to them?
