A day at the beach, building sand castles, swimming midst ocean waves, collecting shells, taking a picnic to the lighthouse,  and basking in the salty air was a highlight in my childhood.  We lived inland, so when we visited my aunt and uncle near the Atlantic Ocean, this was a joyous occasion that lives in my memories.

What can we learn about the beach as we explore in the nautical world? 

Let’s find some books to read aloud or a mystery that requires a large chair for curling up.  There are science and nature books that give us knowledge about what we see, hear, and experience on a trek to the beach.

Does anyone have favorites?  Here are some suggestions:

• Curious George Goes to the Beach
• My Very First Day at the Beach Coloring Book
• Nate the Great and the Boring Beach Bag
• Antler Bone & Shell Artifacts Identification Guide
• Pure Sea Glass :  Discovering Nature’s Vanishing Gems
