Eve Tharlet.
A woman insists on taking five things to the beach: a book, a ball, the pet turtle, the beach umbrella, and her baby. But with every vehicle she tries, from bus to balloon, she finds she would have to leave one item behind. As she tests out each vehicle, readers will enjoy guessing which object is missing from the spacious, comical illustrations.
