Three children spend a day at the beach, discovering wildlife and seashells. Helpful images are clearly labeled, and most spreads have a “Can you also find…” with a short list to search on that particular opening. The digitally created illustrations are colorful, but the children look the same aside from their clothing, skin tones, and hairstyles/color. Their facial shapes, noses, eyes, and eyebrows might as well be made from a stencil. The front board has a cutout, so there isn’t a separate paper cover.
