It's always fun to share a beach themed book with your little one in anticipation of a beach trip or vacation.

Are you familiar with any of these books? What are some of your favorite picture books all about the beach or pools? Let me know in the comments.
I love getting beachy books for my nephews since they live in Oklahoma and don't get to the beach often! Then they can also read them here when they visit.
ReplyDeleteOklahoma! Wow! I hope they get to visit the beach when they visit you! Thanks for dropping by, Angela.
