At the Beach - Board Book

by Elizabeth Spurr (Author), Manelle Oliphant (Illustrator)

Simple, evocative language and charming illustrations describe one boy's day at the beach.

In this gently rhyming board book about a visit to the beach, a young boy digs in the sand and makes a sand birthday cake, then loses it to the waves. His mother distracts him with a picnic and he falls asleep at the end of a full and happy day.

Elizabeth Spurr and Manelle Oliphant together create a perfect sit-in-your-lap reading experience for toddlers.
