Doonsey was a happy, friendly little crab who lived on the ocean floor. One morning he woke up with a tickle in his tummy! He knew what that meant! It was an Exploring Day! Doonsey was so excited! He thought and thought. Where would he go? What would he do? What would he see? Doonsey decides to explore the beach. Little did he know that his peaceful Exploring Day would suddenly become a very busy Great Rescue Day! On this special day, Doonsey becomes a hero and makes some very unusual, but very special new friends.

[Rosie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Author and Illustrator Rhonda Paglia presents an adorable book called "Doonsey's Beach Adventure the Great Rescue." The story line is one that will make readers be filled with play and imagination. The words Ms. Paglia chose in this story made us chuckle and laugh. Her illustrations are a mixture of real life photos, enhanced with sweet drawings that add wonder to every page.
The fun activities in the back of this book will allow readers to continue in the fun. We are looking forward to making our own "beach" story for the summer months to come.
