First off, this book shows a beach in winter.  Yes beaches can be cold.  They are not all hot sand and swimsuits.  Besides that this book is uni que because the story is told in single words that hitch rides with each other. It’s a step above a wordless picture book.  The words interpret the picture instead of the other way around.  And I also love that all the words start with the letter S.  Check it out.  It’s a unique read that would be very fun for reading aloud.
