While the Antarctic might not be the first place you would look to for a story about the beach, our friend Penguin, who is tired of being so cold, needs a vacation. \u00a0In the charming Penguin on Vacation<\/span> by Salina Yoon<\/a>, Penguin sets sail north to find a beach. \u00a0And while it isn’t exactly as his imagined it, with the help of his new friend crab, he realizes the beach is a great place. \u00a0But all vacations have to come to an end — and how will Penguin bear to leave Crab behind? \u00a0Maybe he doesn’t have to…<\/p>\n

Later we read about 4 gators who want to spend a hot day at the beach in\u00a0Beach Day<\/span> by Patricia Lakin with pictures by Scott Nash<\/a>. \u00a0As the friends make their way to the shore they find a lot of fun on the way — will they ever make it to the beach?<\/p>\n

Flannelboard Stories<\/h2>\n

You may see some people fishing when you go visit the beach. \u00a0We sure did with our flannelboard story, The Fish with the Deep Sea Smile based on a poem written by Margaret Wise Brown. \u00a0(Yes, the same Margaret Wise Brown who wrote Goodnight Moon!) \u00a0If you want to see the poem, you can find it in this book in our collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sand Castle<\/span>
\nSand castle on the beach,
\nI built you big and strong\u00a0(raise arms high)<\/em>
\nA wave washed in upon the sand.
\nWhoosh! You were gone\u00a0(swing hands down, then up)<\/em>

\u201cThis is the Way We Play at the Beach\u201d<\/span>
\n(to tune of: \u201cHere We Go Round the Mulberry Bush\u201d)<\/p>\n

This is the way we play at the beach
\nPlay at the beach, play at the beach
\nThis is the way we play at the beach
\nOn a hot sunny day.<\/p>\n

Other verses:<\/em>
\nThis is the way we dig in the sand\u2026
\nThis is the way we play in the surf\u2026
\nThis is the way we lie in the sun\u2026
\nAny other activity that your child comes up with!
