Beach Day by Patricia Lakin

What a fun book to read this summer!  This author has a whole set of "day" books.  Her website is fun also with a "scrabble" theme.  Check them out - http://www.patricialakin.com/  She has some reading tips for parents and educators as well - http://www.patricialakin.com/guides/dayBooksGuide.pdf


Another book - same title, different author - Karen Roosa - In this charming picture book, a cheerful family tumbles out of the car and onto the beach, ready for a perfect day. Buoyant verse just right for reading aloud and bright, playful illustrations capture the singular feeling of a hazy, lazy day by the ocean, complete with a ball game with new friends, water-skiers and sailboats, and a picnic lunch of fried chicken and deviled eggs. This book is a captivating introduction to the beach for young children and an irresistible gift for beach lovers of any age.
