About this title

Synopsis

Slip on your flip flops, head to the beach, and have a whale of a good time building a sandcastle! Let this book be your guide, complete with helpful tips from a friendly starfish.

Follow a young girl as she spends a day at the beach. She has packed her shovel and bucket, but she needs some guidance from the friendly creatures of the ocean, specifically a starfish that provides "Five Star Tips".

Each page tells the story of the day as the young girl gets professional tips from her new friend the starfish. These tips include how to find just the right spot on the beach for the perfect foundation and how to utilize tools such as a bucket and shovel for many different jobs. The job soon becomes too big for just the young girl to complete, so she enlists the help of her friend to finish her sandcastle.

Build a Sandcastle is sure to encourage young children to build the perfect sandcastle. This story is complete with lessons on patience, following directions, taking instruction and advice from others, and teamwork to get a project done. These lessons go way beyond building a sandcastle, of course. Educators and parents can take the lessons in this story and apply them to countless life occurrences for their students and children.
