Publisher Description
A hapless dog frolics in the sun and sand on a perfect beach day. It's fun in the sand, but now there's sand in his lunch and sand in his suit. Time for a dip in the water! The dog splishes, splashes, and rides the waves; it's fun in the water too. As the sun goes down, he flies a kite with new friends. Fun in the sky! But did he remember sunscreen?
David Catrow's zany illustrations make this dog's day in the sun anything but ordinary.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a buoyant dog tale from a master of the genre, a bulbous, scrunchy-faced, ugly-cute dog heads to the shore toting all the essentials for a day at the beach. "I hope I didn't forget anything," he muses, as a he boards a bus while wearing a hat equipped with an umbrella, toting a picnic basket, and pulling along his pet goldfish in a bowl on wheels. Catrow's (Dream Dog) sprawling, sun-splashed watercolors comically embellish the canine's deadpan narrative: "Here's a good one," he says, finding a spot in the sand, which he discovers is actually a sunbather's prodigious belly ("I'll keep looking," the dog adds). The fun continues full tilt when an octopus slides into the goldfish's bowl ("Fish has made a friend"), and the animals join a handful of beachgoers who are flying an array of hats and toys like kites. A final illustration reveals exactly what the dog who is now as pink as the sunset on the bus ride home forgot to bring to the beach, closing out the book with one last giggle. Ages 3 6.
