(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Woodman. Prager presents basic information about sand types, composition, and the creation of beaches and dunes, all narrated by a cartoon sandpiper with a magnifying glass. While the information is oversimplified, it may inspire a closer look at beach sand on the next trip to the shore. The overly busy layouts combine photographs, cartoonish illustrations, and sand borders. The book ends with a hands-on activity.
