Uh, oh! Someone is caught in a rip. GET READY! Alert the other stands. RESCUE!

It takes a lot to make a beach run smoothly. From early-morning sand raking to locating a lost child or safely ushering in an oncoming storm-the beach community has a pulsing rhythm all its own.

Complete with an up-close search and rescue, this informative picture book offers an intriguing look at the daily inner workings of the beach patrol. There are also interesting facts on first aid, weather, wildlife, and more. So take a seat "back beach" or come a little closer and "stand wet" to get the inside scoop on a lifeguard's world.
