About this title

Synopsis

Gull is to sky
as shell is to sand.
Child is to family
as finger is to hand.

Here's a book that makes learning about analogies
as much fun as going to the beach

A trip to the beach-and all the excitement that surrounds it-unfolds in this cheerful picture book chock-full of engaging wordplay and sensory detail. The rhythmic text explores the concept of analogies in an accessible, immediate way. Children can begin to make their own associations and pairings as they long for a day by the sea!
