Let's Go to the Beach: A History of Sun and Fun by the Sea

144 pp. | Holt | June, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6235-1 $$18.95
(3) 4-6 This lighthearted book details the history of the fashions, activities, sports, equipment, and movies created at and for the beach. Van Steenwyk's narrative voice is familiar and warm: she does not attempt to make her study an academic one, but rather a breezy summary of primarily American beach history and lore. Original photos and advertisements will interest and amuse readers. Bib., ind.
