The Boy on the Beach

32 pp. | McElderry | May, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82175-1 $$16.00
(3) K-3 A little boy at the beach wanders off on his own to play in a deserted boat, and when a kind lifeguard reunites him with his parents they celebrate with ice cream. Joe's delight with his day is evident in every spread, and his glowing dark skin and skinny limbs visually set him apart from the expanses of white sand. This small adventure of a small boy in huge swimming trunks will send readers looking for their own beach togs.
