Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A boy's mother describes the shore in what PW termed "tactile, vivid and musical images"; watercolors "evoke place with imaginative accuracy and visual grace." Ages 3-8.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- A young boy who lives in the mountains and has never seen the sea, asks his mother to describe it. From there, Zolotow carefully chooses her words to create a poem full of the colors, sounds, and sights of a day at the beach. The verbal description is firmly framed within oceans of white space on the left and matched by the equally well-crafted gouache and watercolor paintings on the right. Minor's softly detailed photoreal renderings use the perspective of a gull to capture the vastness of the sea and sky as well as that of sandpipers running along the shore to denote precision of movement. Zolotow's words are so descriptive that the paintings seem almost redundant. They do work together to reinforce the gentle mood of the quiet story so that readers, like the boy, can close their eyes and be there too. --Judith Gloyer, Milwaukee Public Library
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
