A Beach Tail

"A charming tale of creativity and discovery". --School Library Journal, starred reviewA creative and intelligent little boy must fight his fear and find his way back to his loving father when they become separated at the beach. When Gregory draws a lion in the sand at the beach, his dad warns him not to wander too far. But the sandy lion grows a tail that gets longer and longer, and soon Gregory is lost. How will Gregory find his way back to Dad? This wonderful read-aloud book brings to life a summer experience that is all too familiar for young children. Rhythmic text and brilliant illustrations reveal the trip down the beach entirely from a child's point of view, and a gentle father-son bond reassures young readers as they share in Gregory's moment of worry at thinking himself lost and alone.
