[June · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mostly sounds as various animals head to the beach in a variety of vehicles.

My one complaint is that the "Moo Moo" is on the opposite page of what might be the cow. 7/11/12

Used again in Lap Time this year. 6/26/13

My favorite lap time beach/summer book. 6/17/14

The baby was more interested in exploring than the book...

Used in lap time as last book and it got a little wild, plus had a couple screamers...

All kinds of animals head for the beach, beeping their horns and splashing in the water in this large-format picture book. The simple vocabulary and short sentences (almost 90% are just two words long) are paired with illustrations of cartoon animals with babyish features, which gives it the feel of a board book for toddlers, but beginning readers will enjoy it, too.

Great for a PreK storytime. Animals all get ready to head to the beach. Lots of fun noises in the book.

[Library Quine · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story takes us on an outing with lots of opportunity for noise-making; beeping, honking, mooing, and splashing.

Leo can almost read this one himself at 20 months. He loves it.

Perheen pienimmille suunnattu kuvakirja, jossa eläimet kiirehtivät kukin omalla menopelillään rannalle.
