review 1: Well I thought a lot of kids can relate to this book especially boys because they have lots of father son time.So i feel like i would have lots of comments from them. Also kids can relate to it because kids always do the opposite of what their parents tell them.Even tho the boy didn't mean to wander off he still did like many kids. Also it kinda shows how the kids creativity came out and how he was independent on his little journey :)
review 2: This is the fourth book I’ve read by this author and I’ve really liked them all. This one is somewhat different, from her others, and any other books I’ve read.The illustrations are huge and really lovely. They’re definitely beach pictures. And the realism of how the people look makes them special.The story is fi... morene for the very youngest children but has a wide appeal for different children’s age groups. Fine for the youngest child because of not too many words, repetition, and sound effects, and it’s a great read aloud book.The story is funny and sweet and perhaps for some children a bit scary for a brief time. I love it because it shows perfectly a child’s imagination, a child creating art, a father’s understanding nature and his willingness to set boundaries, and the bond between a father and son. That this is an African-American father and son is a positive, in my opinion. Sandy the lion (the boy Greg’s sand drawing) is enjoyable to follow, back and forth, right along with Greg. less
