Book
A day at the beach / Gary D. Schmidt and Ron Koertge.
"Here’s what’s so cool about the beach. Kids are everywhere! Kids you know, kids you want to know. Wandering from one blanket to another, from one family to another. Somebody’s mom reads a fat summer novel. Somebody’s dad snores with an iPad on his chest. Babies cry. Girls laugh. Frisbee players whoop! Kites in the perfect blue sky. Some kids bodysurf. Some don’t even like the water. They build sand cities for their friends and sand jails for the grown-ups, and when the tide comes in everything gets washed away. There’s the other world, where all kids hear is tomorrow, next week, next year. And then there’s the beach, where everything is right now! Why can’t every day be a day at the beach?" -- Provided by publisher.
