Sun, Sand, Surf & Stories

For most people, summer brings images of the beach -- sun, sand, and surf.  This week, I'm sharing stories about the beach and ocean.  Here's a few of my favorites . . .

Six Sandy Sheep by Judith Ross Enderle
Six sheep can't seem to stay out of trouble when they go to the beach.

This Is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen
A tiny fish wearing a blue hat hopes not to wake up the trouble that might be following close behind.

Sea Monkey & Bob by Aaron Reynolds
A sea monkey who is afraid of sinking and a pufferfish afraid of floating to the surface conquer their fears by sticking together.

Turtle Island by Kevin Sherry
A giant turtle's loneliness ends when a boatload of animals is shipwrecked and makes a temporary home on his shell. But when they decide to sail for home, will the turtle be alone once more?

Surfer Chick by Kristy Dempsey
The story of a little chick and her dad who take to the beach where he teaches her how to surf.
