Product Description
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.

Great Children's book September 28, 2008
The Children's Book, Beach Day, is an excellent book for children. The illustrations are so rich that the reader can talk a great deal just about the pictures without even reading the text. We have other books by this author and they are consistently fantastic!
Love the rhymes, love the illustrations, love the beach! August 26, 2008
This helped us prepare for our week at the beach, and it was delightful to read upon our return! This book is great for children under 4 or 5 because it is very simple but really captures the special qualities of a day on the beach.
Excellent summer reading choice! December 18, 2007
This is an excellent book for summer reading. We checked out a libray copy and renewed it all summer long. This is definitely one to add to the home collection.
Great book! April 10, 2007
Fun rhyming beach book for the young and young at heart! Sweet illustrations and a story line that takes you right through a cherished day at the beach. Reminds you of happy beach memories or helps the young anticipate their next trip to the beach!
A joyful read for parent and child alike... July 3, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is as much fun to read when your front yard is covered with snowdrifts as it is when the temperature is soaring! I began borrowing this book from the library in mid-December when my daughter was 2 1/2. Since then we have reached the renewal limit on this book a number of times. It is always a pleasure to find a children's book whose illustrations and text are equally appealing as happens in Beach Day. Maggie Smith's delightful, detailed watercolors will capture your child's imagination and inspire them to look at the book over and over. Karen Roosa's poetic text captures the essence of a day at the beach with lines such as "Waves roar, rush and soar, rolling crashing to the shore" and "Noon light, shimmers bright, in the distance, hot and white". I knew I needed to buy my own copy when I heard my daughter (now 3) reciting verses from Beach Day while playing in her swimming pool. This book is a must-have for any child's library.
