Beach Day

Beach Day by Karen Roosa, illustrated by Maggie Smith 2001

A day at the beach is realistically depicted in this memorable story. Stretching from morning into evening, the bouncy verse highlights the joy of a family vacation at the beach. Filled with families of every shape and size, and all the paraphernalia of a day in the sand, Smith's artwork is inviting and cheery. As the day ends with a beautiful sunset, exhausted families exit the beach, and stifle a contented yawn.

Appropriate for ages 2-8
