Synopsis
Sandcastles is the ultimate guide to the ultimate summer pastime--playing in the sand. Featuring the wonderful photographs of Frankie Frankeny (Snowmen), Sandcastles includes over 30 sand sculptures from the whimsical to the majestic, complete with easy-to-follow instructions. Adults and kids can work together to create gloriously impermanent structures by the sea--or even in a backyard sandbox. Pass the time with an ancient sundial. Sail alongside the seas in a sand schooner. Sunbathe with a mermaid. Put up a beach house for your lazy pup. Or for the truly ambitious, recreate some northern Spanish architecture with a rendition of the Gehry Bilbao Guggenheim. For sand sculptors young and old, this delightful volume is filled with the joys found in a summer day in the sand. Sandcastles is a joint project with the non-profit Leap Foundation, which hosts a sandcastle extravaganza each summer, where artists, architects, and kids of all ages construct inspiring sand creations.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Life's a sun-dappled, low-tide beach in this whimsical guide to building castles (and pyramids and marine animals) in the sand. Featuring such practical tips as the "flat-mountain" construction method and the ever-important water-to-sand ratio, author Mitchell provides step-by-step instructions on how to fashion everything from an octopus ("[have] one of the tentacles grabbing something like a fish or maybe your baby brother") to a wild-haired mermaid rising from the sea. Frankie Frankeny's gorgeous photos are reason enough to flip through this book whether or not you have any intention of actually picking up a shovel and pail.
