Secure How Will We Get To The Beach? Authored By Brigitte Luciani Readable In Paperback

have such fond childhood memories of my mama reading this book to me and my little siblings, : I just love Roxanne in this book, She is so scattered, a bit disheveled and, yet, so chic and quintessentially French, Alas, despite my French middle name, I am only scattered and disheveled, When I go to the beach, I, like Roxanne, take along five items, We have one item in common the little boy but then my list becomes quite prosaic, with items like suntan lotion, snacks, towels and a pail.
Her list is much more interestingly and logistically challenging,

It's great fun to see her different modes of transportation and to see which item cannot go to the beach with her for each mode.
The illustrations only add to the fun, Happily, she does make it to the beach with all five items and has a wonderful time,
Actually, this is Anna's favorite, but I'm not changing my shelves around, The logic is great, the pictures are colorful, and she memorized it in about three seconds, We keep this one in the car, Our copy is Englishonly. One of my favorite beach read alouds for preK, this book presents the problem early what mode of transportation will take the characters to the beach and adds an extra fun element: a seek and find of sorts figuring out which ofitems is missing in each spread.


The pictures are great and even have a little ladybug on every page that kids like to hunt for! Its a beautiful summer day and Roxanne is going to the beach.
Shes got everything ready to go: the turtle, the umbrella, the book of stories, the orange beach ball, and most important of al, her baby.
She piles everything into the car, but it wont start! Roxanne tries the bus, but something couldnt go with them, What was it The bus wont allow animals on board, so the turtle cant go, She cant leave the turtle behind, so the bus just wont do, Roxanne tries a bicycle, a skateboard, a kayak, and a hot air balloon, but each mode of transportation prohibits one of her items from traveling.
Just when shes about to give up, a farmer passes by with his horse and cart, Roxanne, her baby, and all the necessary beach items are able to get a ride to the beach, where they have a wonderful time,

Originally published in Switzerland, Lucianis simple story uses straight forward text that helps readers progress through the story and make logical deductions along with Roxanne.
The repetitive refrain, “But something couldnt go with them, What was it” sets up the story to be a guessing game, keeping readers engaged, The summery watercolor illustrations support the game as well, if you look closely at each illustration the item that cannot go on that mode of transportation will be missing from the picture.
The featured items are brightly colored, making them easy for kids to identify from page to page,

Read for Beach themed storytimeThis book is ten years old, but I only just read it this month while looking for a new "beach" book for storytime.
This is a happy discovery! A great choice for toddler or preschool storytime, The kids will have fun guessing what object can't be taken along with each different method of transportation, The pictures are clear and bright and not too detailed for a group, the transportation choices balloon, kayak are unusual, and the ending is a pleasant and satisfactory surprise.
AND one of the things they MUST take to the beach is a "thick blue book of stories"! Might have to hunt up my own copy of this one! Characters are trying to go to the beach, but each method to get them there forces them to leave something behind.
Fun getting the kids to guess what's missing, There's also a hidden ladybug I think it's been a while on every page which is fun to find, Good storytime book. Cute book! This is one of the first books I ever used for storytime, It's a great guessing game book, in which mother and baby try to get to the beach using different modes of transportation, and each time, there is something that can't go along.
Which item is missing Sweet, soft illustrations, This is great interactive story which encourages critical thinking, Each mode of transportation proposed means leaving one of the five beach necessities behind, Pause to talk with the children about which one can't go and why You can also go back and hunt for the ladybug on each page.
Pair with All You Need For a Beach by Alice Schertle or Bear in the Air by Susan Meyers, Great picture book about transportation and what must be left behind in certain modes of travel, What a fun book! Great addition to any beach storytime, I read this when I was first doing Spanish and bilingual story time in summer, In this story, a mom and her baby are trying to get to the beach, but, for one reason or another, their choice of transportation isn't adequate.
It's a pretty cute book, . . and I never really thought of it as a transportation story until now hmm, go figure, I will add this to the list of transportation stories.


Every other page allows the children to guess what can't go with them to the beach, The car won't start and either they can't hold the umbrella on a skateboard or they can't take their book of stories on a kayak.
How will they get to the beach and still take the items they want This is an entertaining story that tests the reader's observation skills.
I would recommend this book for preschoolers, but our girls thought the story was humorous, too, The narrative is short and the illustrations are colorful and humorous, We enjoyed reading it together, My friend loves this boom and I finally checked it out, I love it. Of COURSE you have to bring the turtle, the huge story book, the ball, the baby, and the umbrella to the beach, This is a fun story about a lady who wants to go to the beach and take all of her favorite things: the turtle, the umbrella, the book of wonderful stories, the balland, of course, her baby.
But when the car won't start, they have to improvise and find another way to get to the beach, But, each of the other transportation methods has a limitation and one of the items wouldn't be able to go, Will it still be worth it going to the beach without everything, or will they find a way to get everything and everyone! to the beach

I love Tharlet's illustrations, and they're very endearing here.
Children will probably have fun trying to guess what item won't go with each transportation style,

Personally, the only thing I need to truly love a day at the beach is my husband beside me, but this book is a nice ode to those "extra" things that can make the beach extrafun and ultimately it's a sweet story about how much the mother loves her baby.
Kids thought that this mother was hilarious, And they loved the guessing One beautiful summer day Roxanne decides to go to the beach, She loads up the car with everything she wants to take with her: the turtle/ the umbrella/ the book of wonderful stories/ the ball/ and/ of course/ her baby.
But the car won't start, Undaunted, Roxanne decides to take the bus to the beach, But something can't go on the bus, Whenever Roxanne comes up with a new way to get to the beach she discovers she must leave something behindand children will have great fun guessing just what's missing

each time.
