Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>How will Gregory find his way back to Dad? Swish-swoosh . . . Gregory draws a lion in the sand. Don't go in the water, and don't leave Sandy, warns Dad. But the sandy lion grows a tail that gets longer and longer--and soon Gregory is lost on the beach. This wonderful read-aloud book brings to life a summer experience that is all too familiar for young children. Karen Williams's rhythmic text has been paired with Floyd Cooper's brilliant illustrations, revealing the trip down the beach entirely from a child's point of view. A gentle father-son bond is shown in both text and art, reassuring young readers even as they share in Greg's moment of worry at finding himself lost and alone.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>★ Scoop up this tale for its strength as a unique beach story and for its warm portrayal of an African-American son and father enjoying the outdoors. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews, starred review<br></i><br>★A charming tale of creativity and discovery. -- <i>School Library Journal, starred review</i> <p/>A lovely collaboration suited for every collection. -- <i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Karen Lynn Williams</b> is the author of over a dozen books for children, including the beloved titles <i>Galimoto</i> and recent award-winners such as <i>Four Feet, Two Sandals</i> and <i>Circles of Hope</i>.
