Goodreads

This picture book style easy reader follows a boy at the beach.  He finds a shovel, digs a sand tunnel, interacts with a dog and lies down to see the stars in the sky.  The illustrations are full page with a shadow and brush stroke style that provides a feeling of the wind in every picture.  There is a small space of white that presents the brief text for each two page spread.  Generally there are one word, two word and three word sentences which place the reading level at very beginner reader.  The publisher has designed this as Guided reading level C for middle of Kindergarten, but it seems very basic and could be used for younger readers.
