Surf Pup: Spot Goes to the Beach by Eric Hill

Spot the pup has mastered swimming! By now the swimming pool is old school.

Spot is ready to move up--to the BEACH!

Some of the rules of the pool are the same as those for the beach. Sun screen is important, and sunglasses and a sun hat are a big help. A shovel and sand pail are great for making sand castles, and a floatie can be fun for a rookie, but soon Spot is ready to move up to his little surfboard.

"THIS IS FUN!

LOOK AT ME, MOM"

Spot manages to stand up on his surf board long enough to show Mom, and then he shows her how to fall off his board, too. Luckily, Spot has all summer to practice his technique, but...

Right now it's time for a picnic, in Eric Hill's sun-and-surf-filled board book, Spot Goes to the Beach(Putnam, 2019), which introduces preschoolers to all the activities in some sunny fun times by the sea.
