 Great Book for Toddlers October 1, 2008
WE love the Spot books, especially the lift the flap one. Toddlers seem to love the hide and seek reading and this book is really cute.
 Tone and dialogue NOT typical of most Spot books January 18, 2008

We're long-time Spot fans in our family of 3 children (2-12); so, I was surprised by the negative tone of the story line and some accompanying illustrations in this one. An angry hippo scowls and grumps at Spot twice (for accidently bumping into her in the water when walking backwards and for mistakenly taking her towel instead of his at the end). With these innocent mistakes, I'd have expected something more along the lines of "Whoa--careful!" and/or oops--sorry! instead of the harsh/grabby reactions. The hippo looks a lot like an older Helen or Helen's Mom, making it even more uncharacteristic. If I'd have browsed this in a bookstore, I would not have purchased it. Although the paperback flap book is 2003 release, I see now it was originally published in 1985..so maybe that's why.
[Still a Spot/Eric Hill fan...but not one of this book and will more carefully screen others before buying.]
Spot and James July 29, 2007
James loves this book. When he comes, with Mummy and Daddy, to the UK in 12 days time, we shall be going to the beach and it will mean so much more. We are all looking forward to it very much. I shall be able to read "Spot goes to the beach" to James when he goes to bed.
The Spots series are wonderful for little ones! February 15, 2007

If your little one loves lifting the flaps like mine does, then this is for you! The flaps are pretty sturdy and conceal little treasures for your infant/toddler to lift. The squeals that greet each opened flap makes these lift the flap books a worthy splurge!
 An Okay Spot Book - a review of "Spot Goes to the Beach" February 14, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
My son has found a sudden passion for Spot, so when he saw this book at the Library we checked it out. As usual the artwork is cute, but I have to say that I probably wouldn't buy it. The principle problem is the flimsy flaps. They are just not the sort that last, even with older children. Another problem is that what is under the flaps is not all that interesting. The sole exception being the one where Sam (Spot's dad) is buried under the sand. My son thought that was funny.
Finally, I'm just a little bit bothered by the fact that Mr. Hill has Spot and his father out in a boat without life jackets. In fact, he has Spot falling overboard. Spot's father, Sam, saves him of course, but he does it with a duckie-themed innertube. [And yes, maybe I'm a little uptight when it comes to safety issues. Can't help it.]
Three Stars. The pages themselves seem sturdy but the flaps are the flimsy sort. What's under the flaps is not all that interesting either Not a horrible book; just not as good as some of the other Spot books.
