Beach Party! -- Scooting, slithering, flapping, and twisting!
What kind of walking can you do today?
Can you scoot like a crab?
Bend like a starfish?
Fly like a seagull looking for a fish?

A new additional to this successful series of board books, Beach Party! invites readers to join the parade of animals and imitate their sounds as they all head to the beach. This wonderful rhyming text will delight children of all ages. They will surely want to jump to their feet and move!

Caldecott-winning artist Simms Taback's rich and vibrant illustrations bring a day at the beach to life. This sturdy board book format is perfect for little hands.

Simms Taback won a Caldecott Honor Award for There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly and the Caldecott Medal for Joseph Had a Little Overcoat, of which Horn Book wrote, "The art sings with color and movement." He lives and works in the Catskill Mountains of New York.
