Ages 3-6. Mother offers five-year-old James three choices for his birthdaya picnic with friends, a trip to the zoo, or a long weekend at the beach. He opts for the third choice, and the two set off for three lovely days by the sea. One day he builds a roadway for his cars and trucks in the sand; another day he creates a farm complete with a pond; and on the last day he constructs a castle and a moat full of pirate ships. Although the tide destroys his handiwork each evening, James does not mind, for his imagination is as boundless as his mother's reassuring approval. Harrison portrays a very healthy parent-child relationship; Mother never hovers or interferes with James' fantasies, but she's always close by, offering love and support. Foreman's soft watercolor paintings, which contrast the cool blue water with the warm yellow sand on this deserted stretch of Cornwall beach, complement the idyllic tone of the text. A gentle reminder that summer fun does not require crowds of people or great sums of money. Kay Weisman
