Booth, Tom Day at the Beach.
PICTURE BOOK Aladdin, 2018. $18. 9781534411050
Gideon and his sister Audrey make a sandcastle
at the beach every summer. Gideon is in
charge of the dimensions of the towers and Audrey is in charge of decorating it
with seashells and sea glass. Gideon has
decided that this summer will be different and he is going to build the
ultimate sandcastle without Audrey’s help.
After a few disastrous tries, he finally constructs the perfect sandcastle
and gets the accolades of everyone on the beach. But when he looks over and sees his parents building
a sandcastle with Audrey he decides it’s more fun to do things together.
I love the adorable and bright illustrations that
add to the story line. The short and
simple text has a great moral that sometimes it’s not about what everyone else
thinks, but it’s about doing things together with those we love. I especially loved the drawings of the cute
seagulls.
