Simple, evocative language and charming illustrations describe one boy's day at the beach.
During a visit to the beach, a young boy digs in the sand and makes a sand birthday cake, then loses it to the waves. His mother distracts him with a picnic and he falls asleep at the end of a full and happy day. Fun rhymes and stylishly retro artwork make this an entertaining read for the very young.

"Oliphant's soft drawings, which look to be a mix of watercolor and colored pencil, capture the flow of sand and water well... While the youngster was pleasingly more self-reliant and self-assured in previous offerings, his play and his interactions with the natural world continue to ring true." ?Kirkus•
"Simple language and evocative art tell a complete story, especially when the book is read while sitting on someone's lap." ?Hickory Ridge Reader online•
