How will Gregory find his way back to Dad?Swish-swoosh .
Gregory draws a lion in the sand.
Don't go in the water, and don't leave Sandy, warns Dad.
But the sandy lion grows a tail that gets longer and longer--and soon Gregory is lost on the beach.
This wonderful read-aloud book brings to life a summer experience that is all too familiar for young children.
Karen Williams's rhythmic text has been paired with Floyd Cooper's brilliant illustrations, revealing the trip down the beach entirely from a child's point of view.
A gentle father-son bond is shown in both text and art, reassuring young readers even as they share in Greg's moment of worry at finding himself lost and alone.
