(3) K-3 A girl who's just returned from a beach vacation discovers a clever way to extend it: she flings the yellow sand from her shoes into her yard, and it grows a field of yellow beach umbrellas, a crop of lemon-flavored ice-cream cones, and so on. Delacroix adds another layer of dazzle by working largely in black-and-white, which makes the book's yellows shine extra-bright.
