Part of series “Bears on Chairs.” The bears try to build a sand castle but the sand is too dry. Then the sand is too wet. They build one “in between” and this one stands until they poke holes in it. They persist and finally make a grand castle. The rhyming text is a bit forced at times and the pastel bears are a bit too cutesy for my taste, but the book will likely be popular with kids who likes the other books in the series.
