Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 2—A boy packs up all of the necessary gear for a day at the beach, like goggles, snorkel, flippers, bathing suit, and, of course, a big yellow inner tube. The only problem is: it's raining. His imagination then takes over as he secures an airplane, a sailboat, a truck, a camel, and some sand, and finally arrives at the sea. After he and his friendly camel enjoy a day in the sun and surf, the boy returns home via Antarctica, this time using a whole new set of ingenious vehicles. Where next? This clever book is complemented by beautiful ink and watercolor drawings of the landscapes that the boy has created. The simple narrative encourages youngsters to think for themselves and never to limit the places their imaginations will take them.—Kate Neff, Alachua County Library, Gainesville, FL
