I really enjoyed Beach Day because it brought up many concepts for nursery and primary school children. Not only are Sam, Pam, Will, and Jill trying to get to the beach, but also they happen to have a few breaks on the way. Many concepts are identified throughout the book, such as rhyming, beachwear, park toys, directions, food, and numbers/time. This book could be used in a classroom in many ways, all having to do with the concepts I listed before. The language is what kept me fully engaged but I also enjoyed the illustrations. The illustrations back up what the texts says which is good for a younger child who is learning these concepts. I also liked this book because it used alligators instead of people. So this book could also be used when introducing animals to young children. Sam, Pam, Will, and Jill decide it's so hot that they need to go to the beach. They get lost along the way and stop for a picnic and a long nap. I acquired this book at the same time as Lakin's Beach Day and Rainy Day in the same loose "series" featuring the quartet of crocodiles. After being very disappointed with Rainy Day, I wasn't particularly hopeful about the other two. But Beach Day defied expectations somewhat. Some of my earlier criticisms remain - the illustrations are only so-so and sometimes the very brief text leaves something to be desired in terms of storytelling, making leaps that young readers might not get right away. I found that I did have to expand on the text a little bit with this one to explain what was going on, especially with the younger kids. But that being said, I think the story here was able to be told with the relatively fewer words without suffering in gigantic gaps and thus was more understandable than Rainy Day. I also found that beginning readers enjoyed this book because they could read most of the words themselves with relative ease. To be clear, I'm still not crazy about the Sam, Pam, Will, and Jill books, but this one I would at least consider using again, especially to discuss weather patterns and summer events/outdoor play (i.e., picnics, playgrounds, etc.).
PreS. Beach Day! is an exuberant romp for the nursery-school crowd. On a sweltering day, four alligators head for the beach on a multiseat cycle, stopping at the playground and picnicking before reaching the ocean in time for a moonlit swim. Lakin's elemental text is just right for toddlers, and Nash's candy-colored spreads match the words' spare playfulness with uncluttered images filled with details that will tickle preschool funny bones. The rhythm and rhyme lose momentum at the end, but this will still win over plenty of preschoolers, whether they are heading for the beach or to bed. Sisältyy tähän:Notable Lists
