Seaside Poems

Nothing's better than a sunny day at the beach, and this anthology of ## poems about playing in the sand and crashing through the waves captures everything that's fun about going to the beach. From sandy picnics ("ham with sand, bread with sand, and cake with sand") to starfish "limbed with flames," the poems in this colorful collection are perfect for young readers. Rocks Big rocks into pebbles, pebbles into sand. I really hold a million million rocks here in my hand. --Florence Parry Heide Rain Coming When a mermaid winks Look for a shower Children at the seashore Splashing by the hour See rain coming Soaked as they can get Cry, "Quick! Duck under So you don't get wet!" --Ashley Bryan
