A sweet family beach-day story uses repeating onomatopoeic phrasing to add rhythm to the spare rhyming text. "I hear the breeze, / whishery-whish, whishery-whish, / and see a bird, / fishery-fish, fishery-fish." The sandy-soft illustrations carry much of the plot line and match the simplicity of the preschool-pitched text. Copyright 2019 Horn Book Guide Reviews. - Kirkus Reviews : Kirkus Reviews 2018 July #2
A family of four has an eventful day of exploratory fun at the beach. In muted blues and browns, a multiracial family travels to the beach. A mom, dad, toddler, and infantâand their dogâwalk through a wooded area to a serene beach. The family is on a summer swim outing. The young toddler narrator can hear the breeze, see a bird catch a fish, feel the sand, and see a wave. With each mention, the text indulges in patterned, repeated onomatopoeia: The breeze says, "whishery-whish"; the sand goes "squishery-squish." Narrator and father play in the water, the narrator with water wings. A moment of drama is introduced when the father must rescue the mother's hat, which has been blown into the water by the wind. This sequence is not so easy to visually decode, and some readers may be concerned that the child is in distress. Back on the beach, the happy dog is ready to play, and the squishy sand still offers some enjoyment. It is highly recommended to put some emphasis on the onomatopoeia sprinkled throughout the story. The illustrations are simple and fun and may extend a storytime with opportunities to seek and find objects throughout the book. A quick, cute read, best for fidgety little readers.(Picture book. 2-5) Copyright Kirkus 2018 Kirkus/BPI Communications. All rights reserved.
