It looks as if everyone is going to the beach today and they are all on the road beeping and honking, buying ice creams as they wait in the traffic, and getting excited about the day they are going to have on the sand and in the water. The dog family waves to at a pair of deliciously pink little pigs who go past on a bicycle and everyone waits while the zebra family loaded down with buckets, towels, and other beach paraphernalia, crosses the road What a lot of noise there is as all the animals drive up and down hills until at last they see the beach ahead of them

Minimal text in large type will make this book not only perfect to read out loud but it will also suit those children who are experimenting with reading by themselves. Children will enjoy looking at the pictures of soft watercolor animals trotting, driving, and biking their way across the pages.
