S Is for Sea Glass: A Beach Alphabet

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Doris Ettlinger. This A–Z poetry volume focusing on the seashore is inessential as an alphabet book but will probably appeal to beach lovers. Though Ettlinger's watercolors are often lovely--particularly where her subjects are water, sky, or animals--the verses are frequently forced: "And true, we have an awful screech / But gulls don't leave their trash behind-- / It's not we who litter the beach."
