The Seashore Book

AUTHOR: Charlotte Zolotow
ILLUSTRATOR: Wendell Minor

From the Publisher:

A summer classic by two masters, reissued and redesigned for contemporary audiences.

Wendell Minor’s elegant artwork and Charlotte Zolotow’s simple, evocative prose brings a day at the beach vividly to life as a boy and his mother imagine what it would be like to spend a day at the seashore. Hunting for seashells and building sandcastles, this tribute to the power of imagination and the tenderness of a mother-child connection is also a sweet ode to summer’s greatest pastimes. Perfect for storytime or bedtime.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This book feels like a quiet daydream. A little boy who’s never seen the ocean asks his mom what it’s like, and she walks him through it so simply and beautifully. My boys liked imagining it too, and it made us all want to pack up and head to the beach.
