The fourth title in a quartet of imaginative picture books in which a boy and his beloved granddad discover the wonder of the natural world. In this one, the grandfather and grandchild enjoy a summer day at the beach. Narrated by the child with fanciful ink-and-watercolor illustrations. While the story generally is realistic, things eventually turn a bit fantastic when they rescue a baby seal caught in some netting and return it by sail boat to its family. Both granddad and child are white. An affectionate intergenerational story that would work well for preschool -1st grade story time with a beach or grandparent theme, especially its large 9″ x 12″ size and bright, clear illustrations.
