A Day at the Seashore — Kathryn Jackson; Byron Jackson

Nancy and Timmy hop out of their beds one summer morning and help pack their swimsuits and lunch. And then it's off to the seashore! In a charming rhyme, this Little Golden Book from 1951 (then titled A Day at the Beach) describes what preschoolers will find there: "You can catch little crabs -- if you're quick! You can draw great big pictures right on the beach with a piece of a shell or a stick." Oh, what fun!
