Quite a find!

This beautifully illustrated book is translated from the original French, but the story is sure to keep children ages 4 through 6 engaged and thinking as they figure out from one page to the next, which beach item is missing. I can imagine teachers using this with little cut outs of the beach-bound items so that children can solve each page's mystery as the story continues. A great find.

A GUESSING GAME BOOK THAT IS ACTUALLY WELL DONE

Briefly, we have a young lady who wants to go to the beach with her baby and sets out to do so. She has quite a number of items she wants to take with her and after their car breaks down, she must find some sort of transportation to use rather than her broken car. Each mode she attempts to use has some drawback, i.e. the item, such as the bal, a turtle, etc. will not fit. The reader and the child must guess what item she is unable to take. This is fun and the little ones seem to like it. The writing is simple and repetative. The art work is great and quite eye catching and has charming details - it is funny. It has a rather European flavor to it which is kind of nice. The story flows perfectly with the illustratons. Brigitte Luciani is a good story teller and you certainy cannot fault the skill of the artist, Eve Tharlet. This book is perfect for preschoolers and 1st and maybe 2nd graders. This review is of the hardback edition. I do highly recommend this one.

How will we get to the Beach?

My 3yr old son loves this book. We have gotten it from the library several times. We like it too because it is interactive, making him think about what item is missing at each stage of the story.

This book gets five stars from my five-year-old!

A mother wants to go to the beach, and like any good planner, wants to bring a few things: a turtle, an umbrella, a book, a ball, and of course, her baby. But every time she tries to get there, the mode of transportation makes it so she has to leave something behind...which she is not willing to do. What is missing in each picture? Little ones will enjoy guessing, and they will also enjoy finding the teeny ladybug in each picture. I liked the Mama's aplomb as she searches for the perfect solution to her problems (look at the picture where she wears the turtle like a bicycle helmet!). My little guy wants this book read over and over, and with this charming interactive adventure, it's my pleasure!
