Illustrated by
Nadine Bernard Westcott.
After umpteen haphazard return trips home to retrieve forgotten items, a family of seven finally makes it to the beach--just as a storm hits. Short lines of rhymed text let the hilarity unfold as the saga grows increasingly preposterous. Lively illustrations capture the silly fun and the frenetic pace of a good day gone bad, then good again.
