K-3I Can Read Book series.
Opossum Gilbert forgets his bathing suit on a trip to the beach with his family. He hastily buys another one, which is too big, but he loves the "Surfer Dude" emblazoned on the front. Three short chapters and friendly illustrations bring beginning readers along for Gilbert's latest adventure--in which he discovers the perils of mixing waves and oversize swim trunks.
