Gretchen over the Beach

32 pp. | Clarion | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-90708-6 $14.99
(3) K-3 Gretchen, Clark, Annabelle, and Mitchell, four siblings with wild imaginations, turn a rainy day into a deep-sea snorkeling adventure and an afternoon at the beach into a flight on a seagull's wings. Wispy illustrations--evocative of springtime rainstorm lulls and lazy summer beach days--and the rambling, fantasy story lines allow the reader's imagination to align with the characters'. Review covers the following titles: Clark in the Deep Sea and Gretchen Over the Beach.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
