Review:
Do you love going to the
beach? Is it hard to get your little ones to leave at days end? After a big day
of fun in the sun at the beach, one little girl and her family arrive home just
in time to see the lights in their neighborhood begin to blink. The little girl
and her siblings shed wet towels and change from swim suits to pajamas just in
time for dinner. She plays a quick game of hide and seek with her pet pup. It’s
time for all to sleep but first a listen to a seashell brought home from the
beach to remind them of a phenomenal day.
Author Natalie Ziarnik and
illustrator Madeline Valentine have created a perfect calming bedtime story
filled with soft shadowy images of the beach and home life. Simple sentences
with gentle rhyme make for a perfect read for any beginner. Parents and
caregivers will love sharing this story to calm rowdy little ones.
