Magic Beach is a great book
We own this book, and our 4 year old loves it. I've bought it for several other children and it's been a great success. Children who've been to the beach can readily identify with the activities on each page. The pictures are lovely, with much to find and imagine, and the poetry is simple, charming, and evocative. It's a good book for reading aloud, or for children learning to read to explore by themselves.
