review 1: Karen Lynn Williams, known for the wonderful Four Feet, Two Sandals, has written an amusing circular tale of a little boy who draws a lion, named Sandy, and is told not to go into the water and not to leave Sandy. Well, with the aid of a stick, the tail grows longer, around a horseshoe crab, a sinking sand castle, and so on until all of a sudden, the little boy Gregory looks up and doesn’t know where his father is. Luckily, he knows to follow the “tail”, and that is the tale told in the book. It’s a fun story for predicting, with a little tension too for young readers. Cooper’s illustrations fill the page with ocean, sand and shore creatures to wonder over.
review 2: A young boy and his father take a trip to the beach. A simple drawing of a lion in th... moree sand becomes an exploration of the beach when the boy draws a neverending tail that swoops and swirls around sea creatures who've surfaced on the beach. At one point the boy looks up to realize that he isn't familiar with his surroundings, but he finds his way back to his father's blue beach umbrella by following the drawing of the tail back to the beginning.Pastel illustrations are incredibly realistic. Overall, a great day at the beach, even if you can only get there through the pages of this book. less
