To the Beach by Thomas Docherty

PreK-2. A simple travel story told in a beautiful illustrated sequence of pictures. This is a book that can almost be told through its pictures as there are very few words and most of them are nouns naming the object depicted on the page. A small boy lists everything he will need for a trip to and from the beach. This book would work well with very young children as it is predominately visually interesting and short on words, meaning it can be shared many times in one sitting.

This book would work well in storytime, possibly as a flannel story. I highly recommend this book that allows readers to make a great journey by simply turning a page!
