At the Beach — Dan Ryan

Lost at the beach? Sam and his friends travel to the beach where they come across Homer the Labrador who is lost and sad. The group help him find his way home with a pelican, crab, turtle and cheeky Seagull helping along the way. This early learning book is superbly illustrated and children will want to read the story over and over, as they too will imagine sharing Sam Sam's adventure. Sam Sam is a four year old boy whose imagination sees his cubby friends, Marzipan (his faithful cat â€" who also talks); Spoon, Dish and Tock (the cubby wall clock) come to life and join him on his adventures. Readers and lovers of Sam Sam and Marzipan picture story books will love this addition to the series. Excellent for beginner readers or a bedtime story.
